For those Christians (and those who only call themselves that) who believe that marriage should only take place between a man and a woman...Why aren't families more supportive when they find out their daughter is marrying a man who is obviously gay, or a straight man who is marrying a lesbian? Doesn't that count as an attempt to "redeem" them?

I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. Somebody who is "obviously gay" or "obviously a lesbian" isn't going to be marrying a person of the opposite gender anyway, are they? And if they were, to what purpose? Why would anybody think it's a good idea for a gay person to enter into a straight marriage when they aren't going to be happy/fulfilled and possibly not even faithful? Furthermore, there isn't any "redemption" that comes from a homosexual person entering a marriage under false pretenses. If anything, it just complicates their circumstances in worse ways.

How do you know they are not supportive? If a man was truly gay why would he marry a woman or if a woman was a lesbian, why would she marry a man. From all I have heard, most lesbians can't stand the thoughts of man. Your question is a little confusing to me.

I've never known your examples to happen...
However, I totally disagree with the idea of "redeeming" someone through marriage. Its unbiblical. The Bible says we should marry believers.
If you want someone to know Christ, then you should share with them what Christ has done with their own lives and let the Holy Spirit work. Marriage to a homosexual will likely cause a lot of hurt and pain. Marriage is no guarantee that someone will become straight...I don't see how that would work at all.

i tihnk you just want to make the "man and owman should only marry" part difficult. look me i'm a Roman Catholic, i think they should allow gays to marry since they will never marry in church. so it's legal in the eyes of the state but not in the eyes of God. if you are gay you are not supposed to marry a woman because that's just plain deceit! same goes if you were a lesbien. you marry who you love!

i think he replaced into crying pretend tears the finished time. he's thoroughly not intense with regards to the dating and he's dropping your emotions on him. do not supply your coronary heart away to an insecure, chilly-hearted man or woman like that. He sounds like he's in simple terms toying with you. He sounds like he in simple terms desires to comprehend how far he can pass into breaking you down till you ultimately say you have had sufficient. i don't think of he's the the main suitable option one for you, sweetie. there are various worthier men available for you in identifying for, yet heavily not this one you're speaking approximately. over the years, you will overlook approximately him. do not difficulty. you're able to love him even though it would not advise which you won't be able to place that love onto somebody else extra worth. maximum suitable of success.

Once you become an adult, I don't think people think it's moot to interfere in your relationships, no matter what they are. When you are children, and "don't know any better", then it's okay for parents to step in. But once you are an adult, most people assume you DO know better.
There's nothing wrong with ASKing for help, though, and trust me, even "normal" marriages need that. LOTS of that.
There's help out there, you know. LOts of very kind people.

Well in response to that, Who wants their son or daughter to eventually be hurt by that person if they "slip"
Parents want their children in relationships that will always make them happy...
As for Gay, Not that I believe this, but in a direct response only to your question, It would be their own responsiblity to deal with it, Not another person's and their happiness...

Is there a distinguishing mark on your forehead when you're gay? I haven't seen any but I'm not Christian either.

never happened to me but if they have repented and trusted Jesus for their salvation I don't think that their previous behavior makes too much difference... Jim
