I'm not sure there is "one best way" ...

but any good way, I think, will involve:

Prayer

Good personal example

Prayer

Respect for the sinner as a person.

Prayer.

Respect for the truth, especially when it is politically incorrect.

Prayer.

Recognition that the sinful aspects of the "lifestyle of misery" are indeed sinful.

Prayer.

Encouragement to repentance.

And, of course: Prayer.

What will best serve the real well being of homosexuals and those who are not, is the truth. The truth is always better than a lie.

Here are truths that will help everyone:

1. No one is born homosexual.

2. There are many former homosexuals, and many organizations to help them leave the “gay” life.

3. The homosexual habits and practices are unnatural, sinful, unhealthy and lead to a shortened lifespan and horrible, many incurable diseases.

4. The homosexual lifestyle involves unimaginable promiscuity and violence.

5. Many more homosexuals than the general population are child molesters and have been known throughout history as pedophiles. This is fact and should not be swept under the rug. Sweeping it under the rug guarantees that many more children will be molested, thus irreparably harming the innocent. A huge majority of homosexuals were themselves molested and that is one of the reasons they now identify as homosexual.

People have to kick out blind sentiment based on ignorance and have real love for others. If you really love someone, that means you care about their well being, not being attached to having a false, shallow relationship based on lies. You can show people that you care about them and their health and future even if you do not approve of their choices.

Example: Over indulgent parents who never want to discipline their children raise horrible brats who grow up to be horrible adults. Real love means telling the truth and not approval of harmful or wrong behaviors.
