North Star (organization)

North Star Saints is an organization for LGBTQ people in the Latter-day Saint community. North Star is described as a faith-affirming resource for Latter-day Saint people addressing sexual orientation and gender identity topics who desire to follow teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). North Star supports the teaching of the LDS Church, including the law of chastity and teachings on homosexuality, which prohibits sexual relationships outside of a legal marriage between one man and one woman, as well as teachings on gender identity and expression. The organization takes "no official position on the origin or mutability of homosexual attractions or gender identity incongruence", and does not "endorse political causes or join political coalitions, including those officially sanctioned by the [LDS] Church."

North Star was founded in 2006. The organization holds an annual conference in Utah, as well as quarterly events, live-streamed firesides, and other smaller events in cities around the United States. It also manages several social media discussion groups for different sexual and gender minority demographics, as well as spouses, parents, and other family members.

The organization does not take a position on political issues, but has spoken out against using the suicide of gay LDS members to promote personal political agendas. Evergreen International, a similar organization that for many years operated parallel to North Star, was absorbed into North Star in early 2014.
