How Do I Help My Gay Friend?
by D’Ann Davis
“How do I help my gay friend?” This is a question we notice constantly in the Living Hope office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world. Twenty years ago few Christians asked this question, for few knew any same gender attracted people, or if they did know them, they were ignorant to their friend’s struggles. Today almost everyone knows of someone who identifies as same-sex attracted or deals with a measure of same gender attractions. Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of being where he does not personally know of a same gender attracted (SGA) person in his sphere of influence, this doubt is of utmost importance in light of the change of our society and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly discuss about their issues. So how does one aid a gay-identified friend or SGA friend?
The first response I typically give to this question is actually another question. “Does your friend know Jesus?” This is a vital first question any believer must tackle before attempting to help a friend deal with her sexual attractions. This is because there are two different ro

The Gay Best Acquaintance exists mostly to add variety, comical mannerisms, and affordable laughs to an otherwise all-straight story and sometimes shows political correctness. The gay best companion is depicted as mostly interested in shopping, fashion, and makeovers.
The GBF may talk about sex a lot but is seldom depicted as having any because too many viewers would find that disturbing. Either he has no love being to speak of (which never seems to bother him), or it's forever offscreen, only discussed with the heroine over brunch at some pretentious cafe.

The Gospel for a Gay Friend
Josh had always known he was different. From his earliest memories, he looked at some boys as more than just peers. His parents knew he was “special,” but they loved him for it. He learned to wear a mask and engage the part of a “normal” kid until he graduated from high school.
In college, Josh decided it was period to be who he really was. He made friends with other same-sex attracted people and position out on sexual explorations. Josh create a refuge in his gay society and developed bonds that ran much deeper than sexual flings. Though his parents distanced themselves and old friends turned a freezing shoulder, Josh felt that he was finally free in his new persona as a queer man.
Josh is no caricature. His experiences and story are true, and they are common.
What if Josh were your neighbor or your co-worker or your son? How would you give the gospel to him? How would you tell him about the forgiveness of sins, the society of believers, and true identity in Jesus?
In one perception, there is no difference in the way we’d divide the good news with Josh compared to any other person. Just because Josh is sexually attracted to people of the alike gender doesn’t form him foundation
