Ingraham should not have changed her negative views of homosexuality because of her brother's homosexual lifestyle. She should be spending time and effort and love on helping him to leave it.
You have to wonder if her lack of discernment was facilitated by her conversion to the papacy and its advocacy of all things gray.
I could not agree with you anymore (a homosexual relative). Were I in the same situation, I would deal with it, try to help him/her, but would not change my principles because of it. It is a SIN above all... and therefore can not be excused.
That only makes sense. I have never heard Laura give the practice a pass before, I have only heard her pass on commenting (criticizing) when my belief was that it was because of her brother. I take into consideration that her voice is heard by millions and it could be very damaging for him if she took a public fire and brimstone approach. I do not know what is in her heart of hearts, but of course I would hope that she has the Biblical view and (as you say) would privately convey it to her brother and be of help and support to him in showing him the Light.

Yes, if it is true that she is wishy-washy in her heart about the matter then this is absolutely a legitimate concern. This is one glaring example of where the letter and the practice of that faith take starkly divergent roads.
