How Do I Help My Homosexual Friend?
by D’Ann Davis
“How do I help my gay friend?” This is a question we listen constantly in the Living Expect office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world. Twenty years ago several 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 lgbtq+ or deals with a measure of same gender attractions. Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of experience 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 culture and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly talk about their issues. So how does one help a gay-identified partner 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

Advice for Your First Gay Date
Taking a right on Fletcher Commute on the eastside of Los Angeles, there’s a billboard with two male figures under a caption that reads, “Sorry, This Is My First Period Being Gay.” To this day, I have no clue what the billboard is advertising, but my friends and I quote it reflexively whenever we take Fletcher to the I-5. There is something both deeply relatable and incredibly nonsensical about that phrase. The anxiety and insecurity that comes with your first sexual gay encounter is universal in the queer community, and yet the idea that “being gay” is something that can be activated in a single moment is absurd.
Your first queer date, whether that be in high academy or your late thirties, can feel daunting. At the time I started questioning my sexuality, I was working in the college library shelving books during the evening change. As a hapless dork with anxiety, every occasion I was in the “queer theory section” (which was expansive in my liberal arts school), I would sit on the floor and read through book after book in the hopes that some gay savvy would be absorbed through the words. I went down internet wormholes. I took every “
