Again, how do you know?

He was still actively gay and had a partner. So lets preach about how to be saved at an actively gay mans funeral and point out that the deceased wasn't saved. That'll comfort the family.

She said she provided numerous family pictures of Sinclair, including some with his partner, but said none showed men kissing or hugging.

He hadn't repented.

Texas megachurch cancels vet's memorial service at last minute because he was gay

But after his obituary listed his life partner as one of his survivors, she said, it was called off.

His funeral was NOT the place to point out his or anyone elses sin.

He hadn't repented.

No matter how many times you repeat this canard, you really don't know the man's last moments. Death-bed conversions are common. I have participated in hospital ministries and have seen a number of times that people convert to Christianity when they know that they only have hours or weeks to live. Unless you have access to information that the rest of us don't, you have no idea whether the man repented and became a Christian.

Now, if the man's "partner" insisted on having videos of the two embracing in the tribute video, then I agree with you that the church did the right thing. However, there's nothing in the Fox article that implies this. The church should have just kept those parts out of the tribute video because they were the ones who were editing it.

Regardless, I stand by my claim that Christians should reach out to homosexuals with the truth spoken in love. My past gay friends knew exactly where I stood on the issue of homosexuality, but they were friends because I did not reject them as human beings. Why? Because God did not reject me because of my sins. If that's what God did for me, then I have the obligation to do the same to others.
