How Do I Support My Gay Friend?
by D’Ann Davis
“How complete I help my gay friend?” This is a doubt we hear constantly in the Living Hope office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world. Twenty years ago limited Christians asked this question, for rare knew any equal gender attracted people, or if they did know them, they were oblivious to their friend’s struggles. Today almost everyone knows of someone who identifies as gay or deals with a measure of alike gender attractions. Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of life where he does not personally know of a same gender attracted (SGA) person in his sphere of influence, this doubt is of utmost importance in flash of the adjust of our identity and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly communicate about their issues. So how does one help a gay-identified friend or SGA friend?
The first response I typically give to this question is actually another question. “Does your friend understand Jesus?” This is a vital first question any believer must tackle before attempting to support a friend deal with her sexual attractions. This is because there are two different ro

The Gay Best Companion exists mostly to add variety, funny mannerisms, and cheap laughs to an otherwise all-straight story and sometimes shows political truth. The gay best friend is depicted as mostly interested in shopping, fashion, and makeovers.

The Gospel for a Same-sex attracted Friend
Josh had always acknowledged he was different. From his earliest memories, he looked at some boys as more than just peers. His parents knew he was “special,” but they loved him for it. He learned to wear a mask and play the part of a “normal” kid until he graduated from tall school.
In college, Josh decided it was time to be who he really was. He made friends with other gay people and set out on sexual explorations. Josh start a refuge in his gay community and developed bonds that ran much deeper than sexual flings. Though his parents distanced themselves and old friends turned a cold shoulder, Josh felt that he was finally free in his new identity as a gay man.
Josh is no caricature. His experiences and story are correct, and they are common.
What if Josh were your neighbor or your co-worker or your son? How would you give the gospel to him? How would you tell him about the forgiveness of sins, the community of believers, and true individuality in Jesus?
In one meaning, there is no difference in the way we’d share the good news with Josh compared to any other person. Just because Josh is sexually attracted to people of the same gender doesn’t make him foundation
