What should I do about my cousin and uncle being gay?

Okay, I am only a kid, I won't tell you my age, but keep in mind that I am old enough to know that they are gay. I am a strong and faithful Christian, and therefore, I believe that being gay is a MAJOR sin. I'm sorry if I offended any gays/lesbians. It's just what the Catholic church says, even though I'm not Catholic. Sure, I believe that I should accept them both, but I really don't accept my cousin being gay. The reason I accept my uncle being gay is because I am close to him, and therefore, I can easily forgive him, but I can't forgive my cousin.

    What happens is someone like you comes along and tells them how being gay is wrong blah blah blah. Then you leave to live your own life and do nothing to really help a person who is only attracted to the same sex. Then they are left alone with no one to love. Eventually they forget your extremely unhelpful comments, and find someone to love anyway, because you are long gone living your own life. Just keep such comments to yourself.

    Well, there are many other churches, which also you probably are not part of - that accept homosexuality just fine. The United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church, USA, the Unity School of Christianity, the Metropolitan Community Church, etc. etc. etc.

    Perhaps the best thing would be to recognize that everyone is perfect as they are and accept them.

    Kind thoughts,

    The Pope will sap your body

    and the Church will snatch your money

    don't do anything about your uncle/cousin because there's nothing you can do kid. Live and let live.

    Don't do anything. If you think religion is more important than your relationships with them then that's your loss.

    It's none of your business, you shouldn't "do" anything about it. If you feel that strongly, then just don't be around them. They will be better off.
