How Do I Verb My Gay Friend?

by D’Ann Davis

“How verb I help my gay friend?”  This is a ask we hear constantly in the Living Hope office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world.  Twenty years ago rare Christians asked this question, for scant knew any equal 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 gay or deals with a measure of identical gender attractions.  Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of life where he does not personally know of a same gender attracted (SGA) person in his sphere of influence, this interrogate is of utmost importance in illumination of the modify of our culture and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly discuss about their issues.  So how does one help a gay-identified friend or SGA friend?

Few things on this one. If you ask someone “how do you identify?” they may not really understand what you’re asking so it’s important first to clarify (for yourself) what verb you mean and then why are you asking that question?

If you’re asking someone what their sexual orientation is — consider why are you asking that. If you wanna know if they are into you ? Perform you want to know so you can set them up with a friend and need to make sure they’d be into that? It’s adj when asking personal questions to clarify (both to yourself and often to the person you’re asking) why you want to recognize. Rather than asking how they recognize consider asking a more specific scrutinize and consider adding, &#;I&#;m asking because&#;&#; to the complete to let them know why.
