If you saw today's show, you know that the guests faced some tough choices. So we want to know what YOU would do if you were in their shoes.

runningaway2.jpgYou tell us: What would you do if a family member was refusing to attend your wedding? Or, if you had a gay family member getting married -- and you weren't comfortable with his or her relationship -- would you go the wedding? We want to know!

And, if your family is refusing to attend your gay wedding, tell the Tyra Show about it.

I would't attend a gay wedding, be it my mom, dad, or my son. I don't believe in judging & no sin is greater than the other, having said that- I would continue to love my friend or loved one, but I refuse to comprimise MY belief in marriage being between a man and a woman.

If my child were homosexual, hell yes I'd go to their wedding. It'd be my job as a parent to support them. It won't be harming them (unless their spouse is an abusive, controlling, gobshite that's where I'd step in of course,) me, and the general public. Now, if I were homosexual and my parents didn't want to attend my wedding, I'd be hurt. I'd probably be resentful towards them for being selfish and putting some being whose existance is questionable before me. That might sound selfish to the religious folks, but oh well. I don't care.

No one has right to judge, but has right to uphold and stand up for their beliefs. Marriage is ONLY to be between man and woman. It's appalling that Tyra tried so hard to change her mind (and succeeded). God gave us free will, as he did Adam and Eve. You see what happened to them. Thus, we are ALL sinners but should strive to live as close a sinless life as possible. 1Corinthians 6:9 - 11 clearly states who will NOT inherit God's Kingdom and those practicing homosexuality is listed - period. True Christians would not support those who choose this unnatural lifestyle.

To all the people saying they wouldn't go to a gay wedding because it's sinful: I guess you won't be going to anyone's wedding ever, because everyone's a sinner.

The only kind of wedding I would not attend is if the spouse were abusive. I would not only not attend, but I'd also call the police. Other than that - what should I care what someone's commitment is like? It's not my own. I wouldn't want anyone to tell me how to honor my commitment, and I'm sure as Hell not going to tell them. I may not like everything someone does, but that doesn't mean I stop loving them and stop being there for them. I'm not a selfish person.

Love and respect their view. leave the judgement to the Almighty who is the righteous judge.

If I don't support a wedding, then I'm not attending - period. Its completely nonsense to say that you are supporting the person not the marriage by attending. That just doesn't make any sense. If it did then boycotts would be completely ineffective. However, I do support gay marriages. If your family doesn't come, well then you just need to get over it. Set an example by accepting them for their opinions and decisions exactly the same way you are asking them to accept yours. Theirs might just include not going to your wedding. It sux but you just need to let it go. Your partner is your future. You don't get to pick your family. You do pick your friends and lovers based on your values and personality.

Let me first start by saying that Gay rights is one of the hardest things for me to talk about. My Grandfather, Uncle, Older Sister, and one of my Bestfriends is gay. After looking at some of the comments above I am completely discusted at some of these comments. When two people love each other they should be able to shair the same rights as anyone else. When my Grandfather dies his spouse gets nothing. I would love to be able to come on your show and give half of these people a good piece of mind. In regards to all the comments made about the Lord. HOW DARE YOU!!! You are using God, Our Lord and a weapon to judge other people! For everyone who thinks it is a sin...really...you are judging something that was made by YOUR Lord, do you really think he is going to like you anymore after he sees how horrible you are being to another group of human beings that He created. In my eyes you are not better then the KKK. You are horrible, ugly, and judgemental people. And I hope that when you die God punishes you for all of the judgements that you, with no right, passed on his other creations!

No indeed would I go to a gay wedding. Number 1 it's sin, 2 I'm not gay nor will I support gay rights. 3, No man can serve 2 masters saidth the Lord. Either we will serve Him or the World. 4, I just don't have time for foolish things like that. Read the Bible people. Read the Bible and take heed to it.

if you love someone, love them without fear. don't fear that supporting them is wrong; for supporting others is what we are on earth to do. its our purpose. and remember that the endless number of sins (sins that only exist to believers in some god or gods) that are possible to commit in this world are sins because they, in one way or another, negatively impact ourselves or those around us. this definition does not include homosexuality, and certainly not marriage of any sort in which both parties' sole intent is to enter into a covenant that commits them to a life of love and companionship that would not be possible without that covenant. i certainly hope that anyone not willing to attend a gay marriage can justify wholeheartedly, at least to themselves, why attending would be wrong. perhaps the real sin in this situation is the hurt that is caused to the people who's weddings we will not attend because of their sexuality. again, if sin is really about hurting ourselves or those around us. ever think about that?
