If my daughter at the age of 13 makes friends with another child whose parents are lesbians, we will do all that we can to educate her about the lifestyle. How we have done that with her older brothers is to tell them that those people have bought into Satan's lies and have taken a love relationship and twisted it into something that is far from what God wanted.
We also have explained to them that these people do not know Jesus, so it would make sense that they would behave according to Satan's lies. We have also told our children (and I hope modeled for them) that the best way to reach these people is by caring about them and loving them. Yes, these people would be coming to our home for dinner. Yes, we would spend time with them without changing a bit of who we are -- we would still pray at meals and still talk about our love for Christ.
Okay, I am really about to put my foot into it. We are in the process of adopting our daughter, and the woman who we selected to be our attorney is a lesbian. We know it. She knows we know it, though she tries to hide it from us. We think she does this because she knows in dealings with us that we are born-again Christians.
She is about to do something for us that involves our daughter's biological father. We have made it clear to her that we do not want to alienate him because we hopefully wish to lead him to Christ someday. She has opened up to us, and is interested in learning more about our faith. I doubt that this would happen if we hadn't selected her to be our attorney.
Now, all of that being said, I would love to have this woman's children know my kids. We are unashamed of the gospel, and we understand it is for those who are even afar off. I am not afraid that my children are going to be homosexual if we reach out to homosexuals. Is my kid going to spend the night at her house? No. My kids didn't spend the night with my kid brother when he was living with a woman either. But we didn't turn her away, either.
Bottom line: if these women were confused about what it means to live a Christian life, and her daughter was expelled because of their relationship, shame on the school. However, if these women were being deceitful and if the kid was causing problems, then the school was right in providing a consequence for the behavior. Christians are so afraid of being contaminated, they forget to be in the world and not of it.
Since my mom is a professional dancer, my kids have met LOTS of homosexuals, especially gay men. And when they have encountered these folks, hubby and I have explained to them that this is wrong, and we've discussed why, and also why we don't reject these folks out of hand but try to treat them with charity and respect despite our differences.
BUT . . . we are there to monitor the conversations and keep an eye on things generally. In the context of a school, the parents of other children are NOT there to do that.
So, (as appears from the article) the girls' friends knew her "parents" were lesbians, and the girl made some sort of public statement at a football game, then it's clear that the girl is on board with her "parents'" views and was sharing them with other kids at the school.
. . . as a parent I would be very concerned about what this girl was telling my children when I wasn't around. The school is "in loco parentis" and has a responsibility to keep a Christian environment because that's what they hold themselves out to be. If I sent my kid to a supposedly Christian school, I would not want her being proselytized by a pro-gay activist fourteen year old.
It's not the same as mature, adult Christians being in contact with homosexual acquaintances, while keeping a close eye on their kids' interactions with said acquaintances. And it's certainly not the same as Jesus moving amongst sinners . . . Jesus could take care of Himself, young and impressionable kids probably not.
