I’m in an interesting situation right now. I have a niece who was married to a man, but after they divorced she married a woman. The whispering throughout my family tree is we can never talk about these issues because one of our family is now a lesbian. I politely declined. As a Christian, I refuse to be silent. I’ll speak the truth in love, but I will speak the truth. As I told another family member, “Watering down the message of the Bible to keep from offending someone isn’t the truth - and it’s not love, either.”

A situation faced by many.
Good to hear you are standing polite but firm. Likely it’s not easy, but you are doing the right thing.
Joe does a woman marry a woman??
“Watering down the message of the Bible to keep from offending someone isn’t the truth - and it’s not love, either.”
But you will be the problem for speaking the truth.
