I say no.
Marriage is a religious thing, not a government thing.

I feel like a man with no country, as I certainly don't belong here.

And then I remember that this world is not my home, and I seek a better land.

Absolutely not! My sister-in-law's brother married a man, and has their wedding photo on her fridge. I don't care who you are, there is no way I will in any way appear to support homosexuality. There was a transgender who came to our church once. Everyone called him Charlene. I'm not calling him Charlene, I call him by Charlie, cause that's his real name. I'm not going to support his sin by calling him Charlene.

I feel so tempted to change my Facebook profile to the rainbow stripes they have to promote Gay Pride and put Genesis 9 in big letters over the top of it.
My sister recently visited Cuzco , in Perú and, she thought she saw their flag, several times, thinking their movement had greatly advanced THERE...

until she was informed that those ones she saw, were native flags Peruvians used, before being conquered.

I´m not sure, but I would bet, gays flag is another way the EVIL ONE tried to laugh at God´s face, since God gave the RAINBOW colors as for a sign: Peace!

These are using them to say: "We all are equal inside".

We could be "equals" at sinning,
but we need to be equally surrendered (CONQUERED) to God´S will, not to men´s passions (which only last few minutes, compared to eternity)

So should I do it? Because Christians can preach about God being Love until they're blue in the face. It doesn't stop the fact that He's also truth and hates sin.
Case in point. A woman of Facebook just told me she isn't a Christian because of people like me. I didn't hate on her, I just disagreed with her in relation to the gay lifestyle. I'm certainly not perfect, but she's going to have to do better than that. She doesn't become a Christian because she doesn't want to be accountable to a holy and perfect God. That's the truth of it.

If I was ever invited to a gay wedding, that would most likely mean it was the wedding of my very best friend who probably kept me from seriously harming myself through many years. I would go and I would be happy for her.
And I would continue to pray she will the day meet The Man of her life. Jesus.

Emotional chaos

I remembered a relative of mine. He was a very sensitive young man. He became a ahmedia muslim, a scholar, who did a lot of translation work. He came to a point when an arranged marriage was going to be set up.

Suddenly he left the faith, became an atheist, and set up home with a man from the baltic states. This lasted a number of years, and then broke down, and he now lives with another young man.

This experience seems not untypical of this lifestyle, people looking for intimacy, but it is all very confused, because the focus is out of balance, and children or stability is rarely involved.

So marriage to me with this kind of background is a farce, the attempt at mimiking the family they grew up in, but without the biological dynamics that male and female personalities bring to the show.

The real test is how many gay relationships last past a few years. I do not know, but I doubt it is many.
So I do not know how my attending such an event would help, I would rather stay away, because I literally see no future in this kind of behaviour, other than continued pain and suffering.

I will be attending my gay grand-daughters wedding this year. She is not a Christian so I cannot make her obey God's law which is for Christians. So any unsaved relative would have me at their wedding despite knowing that they sin, tell lies, cheat the tax man etc. Christians who would refuse despite sinning themselves are hypocrits. By showing her the love of God, she is responding and losing her objections to Christianity and will one day I hope, come to Christ. .

That's not how it works. We know we sin and that's why we need a Saviour.

I would go. Not to witness, but just to fellowship with someone about whom I care. If they care enough for me to invite me, KNOWING I don't agree with same sex anything, then they trust me enough to not judge them. I can love them enough to love them even when I feel they are sinning. Love is patient and kind. Besides it's not me who has the say to decide that they are or aren't sinning, but eh....that's just my opinion....and my opinion really doesn't matter anyways to anyone besides me anyways.
Peace!!
But you already said you don't agree with it, so you already judged, didn't you?

As for who is to say? We will judge the world, (1 Cor. 6:1-6), so why not now?

What about those who are hired, without KNOWING it was a gay marriage?

What sort of legal excuse they show to avoid going? since they work for a company which was PAID for whatever service needed.

Waiters have to go, if their company was paid to bring that service...

Just think of those that could be hired or contracted, like those who arranged flowers, etc.
I have worked for a property management company in Center City Philadelphia. They managed 900+ properties, and the office was/is located in the heart of our homosexual community. At least one of my coworkers was homosexual. (No one goes around asking people their sexual preferences, so we never know unless the info is offered. lol) Even if I tried to count the number of tenants that were homosexual, there's no way I could. My responsibilities were to my bosses', to the company, and for the tenants. None of them were for not serving because of one particular sin. I had one problem with that job, and that wasn't it.

Great question, Cross! And I have three answers: no, maybe and yes: :)

Most gays where I live are liberals, and I deem liberals as enemies of society, thus I'm not friends with them that I would be asked to their weddings. A mutual no to them.

However, if patriotic, conservative, gay Christians were to ask me I would consider it. They get a maybe.

Lastly, I have nieces and nephews, and my love for them is unconditional. They know my love for the Lord and I know their love for Him. If any of them are gay and one day get married, I will absolutely attend their wedding and continue to love them with all my heart.

I didn't attend my brother's second wedding due to work commitments. I told him that I would attend his third wedding and he was OK with that. 10 years later I kept my promise.
Why is that funny? ;)

That shouldn't be funny but it is. ;)

You crack me up, Bro! :cool:

Why are we surprised when people sin? I think we all should understand by now that mankind is trying to go its own direction and be its own god.
