Should Christians Attend a Same-Sex Wedding Ceremony?

Should Christians attend a same-sex wedding ceremony? 
 
This is one of the most common questions that pastors and leaders are being asked. And, to lay my cards out upfront, I don’t think there is one clear black-and-white-answer to this question—even for those who uphold a traditional view of marriage. 
 
To be clear, everything I say in this paper will assume that God has designed marriage to be a one-flesh union between two sexually different persons. My goal is not to tell you exactly how to respond to the question above, but to provide a framework for how to respond faithfully, in light of what the Bible says about marriage. 
 
In the end, I believe there might be multiple responses to this question that are faithful to a traditional Christian ethic of marriage.
