"The uple talked onle for a few months before cidg to meet at a Wt Coast gatherg of the Gay Christian Network.
Although not a datg service, the Gay Christian Network's gathergs provi a unique opportuny for dividuals like David and Constanto Khalaf. In mastream evangelil culture, to which many WUM'ers subscribe, masturbatn is taboo, often viewed as sful, and sometim seen as a form of homosexualy.

I’ve worked up a good lather the so-lled “culture war” around homosexualy and same-sex marriage for about two s now.

U.S. SUPREME COURT BACKS CHRISTIAN BAKER WHO REBUFFED GAY UPLE
In Gay Girl, Good God, thor Jackie Hill Perry shar her own story of turng om s and fdg wholens. Jackie grew up fatherls and experienced genr nfn which led her to embrace masculy and homosexualy as her inty.
First, a word of enuragement: if you are the kd of iend that a gay uple would ve to their weddg, then you are probably dog somethg right. Homosexualy is jt one of many ss listed 1 Corthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person om the kgdom of God. Some would ntend that a Christian should have no qualms about attendg a gay weddg and that one’s prence at a gay weddg do not necsarily dite support for the homosexual liftyle.
GAY UPLE ACCED OF RAPG SONS, FILMG ABE ED CHRISTIAN ADOPTN AGENCY: REPORT
The problem is that a gay weddg is a celebratn of two people who are livg a liftyle that God clar to be immoral and unnatural (Romans 1:26-27).
HOW SHOULD THE CHURCH LOVE A GAY COUPLE? (PART 2)
“Marriage should be honored by all” (Hebrews 13:4), but a gay weddg dishonors marriage by pervertg s meang.
Unlike weddgs of those other fahs, a gay weddg do not qualify as a marriage, acrdg to what God clar marriage to be. A gay unn is not a marriage God’s ey. Suppose a Christian uld attend a gay weddg and somehow munite clearly that he is supportg only the dividuals gettg married and not their liftyle.
A GAY UPLE RAN A RAL RTRANT PEACE. THEN NEW NEIGHBORS ARRIVED.
There is no way around the fact that a gay weddg ceremony is a celebratn of s. In the same way, we support a homosexual iend by helpg him out of the liftyle, not by signg a gut book at a celebratn of homosexualy.
It is good to seek opportuni to wns to and show kdns and love to our gay iends.
J AFFIRMED A GAY UPLE.
However, such motivatns are misguid when to attendg a gay weddg. If ved to a gay weddg, is our nvictn that a believer J Christ should rpectfully cle. A gay weddg is not an issue the Bible explicly addrs.
There fely is no “you shall” or “you shall not” God’s Word regardg attendg a gay weddg. Based on the reasons and prcipl listed above, we nnot envisn a scenar which attendg a gay weddg would be the right thg to do.
