Should I go to a gay play even though I'm a Christian?

I have a gay cousin who is putting on a gay-themed play and he invited me to go to it but I haven't made up my mind yet. The reason for this is because I'm a Christian and the Bible is against homosexuality and I feel going to a gay play might be sinful. But on the other hand, I don't want to let my cousin down because me and my family get along very well with him. But I'm worried if I tell him why I don't think I should go he might get upset and take it very personally and might think I'm homophobic. What do you think I should do?

    Tell your cousin that your religion is more important than him. He'll appreciate how you spread the Christian message of love and tolerance.

    Going to your cousins play doesn't mean you will be advocating "gays". I'd much rather go to his play than spend one second with the religious bigot and liar, geessewereabove, who answered your question here. Showing love is what Jesus is about. Only you can make this decision. Good luck.

  • The bible is also against consumption of certain types of food, but that probably doesn't stop you from eating a bacon cheeseburger, does it? The bible is against tattoos, but you probably don't condemn those who have them. The bible condones rape and genocide, but most Christians, I imagine, are against those sorts of things.

    If you truly love your cousin, you will admit that perhaps the bible got this wrong (or the men who interpreted "the word of God" got it wrong) and accept that your god made him this way.

    Keep in mind, even if there is a god, and even if he provided us his word, humans had to do the transcription, and they may have made a number of changes to suit what they wanted.

    The homosexuals took up the slang "gay" in 1980 because they have the Largest Suicide rate out of Every race, creed, sex, ... club, org, country,... over the whole planet earth! To con others around them!

    As of June of last year homosexuals had RAPED 24 Million BOYS and Young Men in the USA!

    Why to you want to become a Rapest?!

    How many Murders have they also committed?

    They are the farthest thing from being happy! Check the numbers!

    Read 1 Corinthians chapters 5 & 6. Homosexuals are Not even permitted in a church of GOD's! If a church or religion permits homosexuals in, it is not a Church of GOD's anymore!

    Taking one sin to indulge in intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution will never be acceptable in the eyes of God!

    Christian leaders from around the world have clearly stated their opposition to the "victimization or diminishment" of gays and lesbians, saying demonizing and persecuting them was "totally against Christian charity and basic principles of pastoral care".

    "We say that no one should have to live in fear because of the bigotry of others."

    Christianity is not about hating others but about worshipping the LOVING GOD!!!!!!!

    You do not have to beleive in something to be respectful human and civilised!

    The bible is against blended fabrics. Think about that next time you put on a cotton-poly blend shirt....you're going to hell.

    you should rebuke him of being gay. that is a lie from satan. and misinformation from his mind. a men is men in spirit no matter what. so when he indulge himself in abominable things it is just not right at all it is abnormality. that can be avoided.
