It’s becoming more and more common for someone you know to come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning. But what should a Christian’s response be? What’s the right language to meet someone with compassion yet hold a standard of truth?

Heavy on truth? Heavy on grace?

While unpacking what this conversation ideally looks like, we discovered some wellmeaning Christian responses that may seem like the right thing to say, but ultimately cause more hurt and damage to an individual's healing journey.

Caleb Boggan, Director of Pastoral Care at CHANGED Movement, has gathered these top ten responses as “Failed First Responses” to guide Christians in what to avoid saying, and what to say instead.
