I wouldn’t, not even if it was my child in the same sex marriage.

If someone says he is going to pour gasoline on himself and set himself on fire - should you bring your marshmallows on a stick so you can join his 'celebration'?
Or analogous to the case of the bakers who get sued by the Government - if you own a store that sells gasoline and someone tells you he is going to commit self-immolation, should you be compelled to sell him the gasoline?

No.
A Christian may not participate in an abominable practice lest his or her immortal soul be endangered.

A wedding is supposed to be time of making a public vow before God. Homosexuals cannot make such a vow. A homosexual “wedding” seems to me to be an act of defiance and shaking your fist before the God who calls homosexuality an affront to His holiness.

No- voluntary attendance at such an event is condoning it.

My sis and I had this debate. She is a devout Christian, as I (fail to be). She works as a florist and does weddings. Said she would do homosexual weddings as she sees it as an opportu ity to spread the Gospel. I don’t and argued that she’s condoning. Love her to bits, but I think she’s lived in the NE too long.

What did God TELL YOU ?
TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For
it is written:
For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,even the SOULS that commit themSHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people.
Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?
"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

1Co_5:9 When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.
1Co_5:11 I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

No. It wouldn’t be polite to puke all over the place.

As a rule I don’t attend weddings or send gifts. I really don’t like them anymore than I do funerals, but funerals are a little more interesting and involve a lot less Hypocrisy.

Dont even eat with such people. No one preaches that anymore.... That would be a certain percentage of church goers we shouldn't associate with....

No.
If you attend a homosexual marriage, you are tacitly (if not wholly) signaling complete approval of homosexual marriage and all that goes along with it.
This is not the same as declining to attend a wedding between a man and woman who you feel shouldn’t get married. One can have the opinion that the man and woman should not be married, but refusal to attend in that case is quite different, and something I feel should not be done except under extreme circumstances.
With respect to homosexual marriage, it is a fundamental disagreement on which I do not feel there should be a “middle ground”. If you feel that homosexual activity should not be normalized at a societal level and inhabit the same plane as marriage between a man and a woman, then agreeing to attend is an utter compromise of your integrity.
If it is a family member involved in a homosexual “marriage”, this can be quite a difficult and painful situation to be in if you feel as I do. And it happens.
One can love the sinner and despise the sin. What two people do in the privacy of their own lives is not my business, it is between them and God.
But if they wish to fight the battle to normalize homosexual behavior at a societal level, it is my business.

LOL...on a previous thread about this kind of thing, someone said they preferred funerals because the subject doesn’t demand a gift, the food is better, and the conversation is more interesting...
Or something like that...:)

No. As also a Christian should not attend a wedding if they know the persons getting married are committing adultery.
