My father lost his job in the late 50s for standing up for Civil Rights. His grandchildren grew up with that story. They now believe that “gay rights” are in the same category. I’m not going to exclude them from my life because of what they see as a continuation of their grandfather’s heritage. I strongly believe that they are wrong as does my surviving brother but simply excluding them isn’t productive. I also wonder whether you also exclude anyone who has had heterosexual sex outside of marriage or if you quiz anyone about that before allowing them into your home. Or whether you ask them whether they have master-bated in the past few weeks. We have two friends who have same sex attraction. (they don’t know each other - i.e., not partners) We also don’t exclude them from our lives. Its our job to be a witness to a strong covenant marriage. (46 years)
