We have neighbors and good friend...Good points, PB. We have neighbors and good friends who are a gay couple. They are close to our family and our daughter calls them "uncles." We interact with them on a regular basis and try and show them love based on the only true love. Do we condone their sin? No, but we also acknowledge that not only do we also regularly hang out with all the other sinners in our lives (Christian or not), but none of us is perfect either. As you said, we can in no way expect them to understand what we believe until they know why we believe and in Whom we believe. At the same time, we would never ask them to teach our daughter about their lifestyle. We will teach her the truth as we know it - and also teach her how to show true love.Tonya Roothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912813075970062184noreply@blogger.com
