If I suspect that my church youth leader is a lesbian, should I quietly say anything to her about it

My church youth group advisor has been with us for about 3 months now and we all love and appreciate her for being an excellent leader...however, I'm now having a strong suspicion that she is a lesbian. I added her MySpace I while back and for her default she has a pic of her and another woman...I would have overlooked this but there are other pics like this with different women(they are all fully clothed, dont worry).



I can relate strongly to it because I'm bisexual myself, however I'm not sure how to act around her. Please understand that I'm very liberal and I support gay marriage, but since we are in a Christian group many of us don't feel the same way.



I thought about going to my pastor about homosexuality before, but I'm gravitating to her now not only because she may be gay but also because she too has a liberal mindset, having annouced her OK of wearing jeans in church, where my pastor is very set in his ways of morality. Should I go to her and talk in private about this

Someone's sexuality shouldn't change the way you act around them (unless you want to date them, which presumably is not the case here). I treat my gay friends and straight friends the same. If you are looking for someone to talk with about your sexuality, I would suggest asking her what her opinion of homo/bisexuality is. If she's open to it, talk to her about YOU. You may want to mention that you feel isolated because you don't know any others (if that's the case. Don't lie!). At that point she may tell you she's a lesbian...if she is one. Or she may not. If she's not bringing it up, you should respect that. Maybe she's in the closest, or maybe she's not a lesbian. Either way, that's her business. She should only be expected to tell people she wants to tell.

The Scripture says to take a case to the individual first ALONE...then if they will not hear...take another with you....then take it to the Church authority....



When taking about sin of homosexuality in the Church it is very grevious....so it may be best to ASK her first personally about her homosexual beliefs.



By finding out her BELIEFS about homosexuality you are not accusing her....merely trying to find out if her belief lines up with Scripture.

If you want to have a friendship or bond with her, sure. You can start with you are bi and you were getting a gay vibe from her....of course do so in private. Its how we got around it in the military.

Regardless of whether you are a liberal or conservative Christian, unless you've developed a close personal friendship with this person, discussing such intimate matters is probably a bit inappropriate, especially if you did this by groking certain conclusions about her off the Internet.



If she's a good enough friend, it will come up in your conversations, and you can talk to her then. Otherwise, it really isn't your affair.

Please read 2 Samuel 1:26; apparently David and Jonathon had sexual relations together. God looks at why (1 Samuel 16:7), man looks at who,what,when, where, how. Does it bothers you (or siblings); then talk to her (privately). If not, let it go for now.

Mind your own business.



WHat does wearing jeans in church have to do with morality?

I say leave it alone and dont bring it up. Whether or not she is a lesbian is really none of your business.



IF however you need to talk about your own bi-sexuality - then she might be a better choice to speak to since your pastor is likely to start preaching fire and brimstone at you. And it may get back to your parents if they dont already know. When you do bring your problem to her, just say this -



"Since she's more open minded than the pastor which is why you're talking to her, you have a problem, and wonder if she has any advice. You think you are bi-sexual."
