It is hard to do sometimes but acting Christ-like is always a wise idea. Hope this helps some. Just my .02 on the subject.

To be wise is to have
Wisdom and to have wisdom is to have the ability on how to apply
Knowledge. If I was told that my son was gay, I would understand that something went wrong in his mind and would forever try to understand what confused his mind.....Not stop loving him as my son.....
This behavior is definitely not normal and no one is born this way...This is a learned and accepted behavior from a highly mental disappointment at some time in their life. Some at an early age and some at an older age and some at a matured age...
Putting them down cause they embarrass you and or your family is not the thing to do. We need to havea different outlook on this matter and give them all the mental help and support we can give. Believe it or not, parents may cause this unusual behavior astheir children are growing up and don't realize it.
Mothers have to teach their little girls how to be girls and what girls do and like. Same with the fathers and their little sons.
In some case's, not all, this is the part about the mind.....if the father teaches his daughter from an early age to be a Tom Boy, she will want to act and beButch as she grows up.....If a mother alwaystreats her son in a feminine way, quess what?
Those that are Duo-Sexual are confused and those that are Homosexual are convinced........
RE: what would u do...
I would be sure to let them know I couldn't condone what they were doing and try my best to convince them to repent. I'm not convinced it's always a choice a person makes. As Reb mentioned, sometimes things go wrong in a person's mind. I remember a friend of mine who had a relative that was gay telling me about a conversation he had with him once. Since he'd been old enough to understand what was going on, he'd known about his uncle's lifestyle and one day just asked him why he chose to be that way. He said his uncle told him that he'd give anything not to have the desires he did, but he just couldn't be attracted to women. If you think about it, why would anyone choose so much sadness and hurt for themselves and their families? On the other hand, there are some I'm sure who suffer from the need to challenge any and every tradition simply out of a rebellious heart. It's not a new thing and it's not going away. The thing we need to remember as christians is tolerance for everyone. By tolerance, I mean the ability to disagree with something someone does yet still respect the person's right to those things. God gave free will to us all, not just those who choose to do His will. Too many times you see just awful things written and said about homosexuals, by the very people who are supposed to try and helpthem findthe easy yoke Christ so lovingly offers. That should never be and I'm convinced, those who engage in such hateful things have a big surprise coming on judgement day.
