Should a christian attend a gay marriage

As Kevin DeYoung, one of my favorite bloggers, attests, the question of whether a believer should attend a lesbian wedding is now frequently asked. (I&#;ve addressed the scrutinize previously in a video, and also shared some ideas for how someone could lovingly decline attending such a wedding.)
