The question is... “What would Jesus do?”

Remember He said several times that he came here to save not to judge.

He also stated that the sinners needed his company more than the devout......

So I ask again, would the Guy who spent time with the criminal tax collectors spend time with a gay couple? I would think the answer would be “Yes.”

What would Jesus do...yes, that’s the best measure of all.

Why did Jesus hang out with sinners, though? He did it not to lend approval to their sin-—He was and is completely intolerant of sin, and He rebuked it wherever He found it-—but to bring sinners to repentance.

He didn’t accompany tax collectors on their rounds and smile as they went about their work. But that’s what Osteen would be doing by attending a queer wedding, sitting there and smiling while the sin God called abominable is twisted into a blasphemous parody of God’s institution of matrimony.

He did hang out with sinners, all the while bringing them to an awareness of their sin and to repentance.

I'm pretty sure He would not have attended a gay wedding. Why? That is condoning sin.
