How Do You Decline An Invitation To A Gay Wedding For Religious Reasons?
Weddings are a chance for the happy couple to celebrate their union in front of all their family and friends. When you’re invited to a same sex union you may feel that religious reasons prevent you from attending the ceremony. Address the situation and keep from hurting the couple’s feelings. Decline an invitation to a gay wedding with these suggestions. Review your religious beliefs. Make sure that attending a same sex union is unacceptable. Read religious texts for insight into appropriate actions. Schedule a meeting with a religious leader of your faith. Ask for clarification on your religions stance on same sex marriage. Even if your religion is against it, discuss with your religious leader if attending a gay friend’s ceremony is implying anything but support for your friend on their day. Decline the wedding invitation if religious beliefs still demand it. Simply RSVP that you are unable to attend the wedding ceremony without including the details why. Consider making a compromise
