It is an honor to be invited to someone’s wedding. It speaks to trust, love, loyalty, and friendship. It means those who invited you value your relationship and want you to celebrate with them in their special life event. But if the invitation comes from a gay couple, should you, a Christian, accept it? The matter only becomes more confusing if the invitation comes from a family member.

Some would argue that a Christian should attend. If our goal is to eventually bring these people to Jesus, how can we do that if our friends or family feel slighted and offended by our absence in one of their life’s biggest moments? Are we destroying the relationship we’ve worked so hard to build? Our absence would speak louder than our presence. Besides, refusing would mean not imitating Jesus, a friend of sinners who showed his love and acceptance by sharing life with them (see Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:34; Matthew 9:10–17; Mark 2:15–22).
