Tough Call

Question: Should I attend a same-sex wedding/civil ceremony of a relative/friend?

I said it was a tough call. So what would you do? Would you not attend out of embarrassment, or conviction (Christian or otherwise), or attend because you agree with the principle of same sex union, or don't have the 'nerve' to say no? This question originated in a recent Christian periodical, and not from someone making mischief. This comes from a heart that wants to do the right thing in this secular world, but also in the sight of a Holy God. Yes, it's a tough call!

The UK and Scottish governments are in the process of a consultation which will probably result in the definition of marriage as we know it, being changed to include homosexual marriage. It has already happened in other countries, so the same question is relevant to many.

Due to the topical significance of the question, I am interested in your thoughts, but not just your thoughts, your reasons too. That can be in support, or not. One thing is sure, we will be faced with making the decision sooner rather than later.
