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.


NEXT: Don't Ruin My Gay Wedding


 
I agree that gay marriage isn't right in the bible but if my daughter was getting married I would go! A wedding is supposed to be forever and I couldn't live with myself if I didn't go to her wedding and then she never got married again! When you have kids you are supposed to love them no matter what and that means even if they are gay! Also in the bible it says not to judge people for you will be jydge on judgement day!
 
Someone wrote earlier that it is not our place to judge someone. Well I agree, but it is our place to tell them the judgment of God that is coming thier way. It isn't us judging them, it is the one and only God who does that. Gayness is a sin and the punishment of sin is eterinty in hell. You can live how you want in this life but is it worth forever in a pit of fire.
 
Tyra.I am here watching your show.Please don't destroy my Gay marriage.I totally support Julia's mom in not support her daughter in being joined together in holy matrimony.Genesis 19 focuses verses God create woman for the ribs of Adam this was done for a reason this is where the union of man and wife come in after them being united together he told them to be fruit and multiply.Question,how could same gender marriage have children? If god wanted same gender marriage it would of being no you or me.Also a whole city in Genesis 19 was destroy because of their homosexual lifestyle. Allison Palmer Freeport Bahamas. Married for 17years to Pastor Keith Palmer
 
of course i will go, i don't recall any seychellois refusing a wedding invitation. gay or not a wedding is a wedding.
 
It is not in our place to judge anyone. when my family member becomes gay and wants to get married they don't stop being family so as much as i don't like their decision I will still love them and be there for them. I would go for the wedding despite my resrvations because this is someone I love and care about. From which cycle is this episode Tyra? Am asking because my local T.V stations are way behind.... please get back to me @ liznyamzy@yahoo.com
 
this is a painful situation. as a mother i love my children, but i would not go to a gay wedding, God say we should not impose our will on others. i would just pray for my daughter and give god all the glory. a loving daughter would not force her mother to attend a gay wedding against her wish.
 
With the bouts of insomnia I have on my medication, I had a chance to see this episode some time back, which I would not have seen since your show airs so late, but I have difficulty sleeping. None the less, I could not allow ths opportunity to escape me again (during this rerun)of this show. Television talk show hosts, among others, have one of the most powerful platforms in modern times--TELEVISION. I am verrrrry concerned how homosexuality (which is a sin against God)can be promoted. The WORD is clear that these kinds of relationships are "unnatural" Romans 1:26-32. It seems that for some, like you (Tyra, Oprah, etc.) who have celebrity status and television audiences full of vulnerable people (especially youth)believe that this is okay. This, like many other times,you have imposed your views on your guests and audience members. It would have been better to remain impartial/objective. Our society has sooooo many ills (that God will forgive with true repentance) and as Christians we need to stand up for God's WORD, which usually comes with deliverance and maturity. The Word declares, He who the son has set free is free indeed. It also says that once we are free, we are to help lift up another brother or sister, which also is a result of maturity. You admitted yourself that you knew the Bible spoke against homosexuality and it has no ambiguity, but we treat it like it is just another book. We are all in need of repentance for our conduct daily and I AM NO EXCEPTION. I just know that we are accountable for what we know and it is necessary that we stay in a posture of humility and repentance when we go against God's commands. I hurt about sin and I am hurting now
 
I think TYRA should have asked the MOM if she had SIN in HER life... DUH!!! don't we ALL!!! Alrighty then, Then GET OVER IT MOM!!! YOU HIPOCRITE.
 
Hello tyra, i have not yet seen this episode but i will right after i post since i have all of the episodes dvrd anyway i am gay myself and it hurts so much when your family does not back you up. coming out to my mother was hard and more because i was forced to come out when an aunt i had trusted with my secret told my mom. my mom caught me in the act of missing work and leaving to LA where my ex boyfriend lives. she called me crying telling me why i was doing this to her. i dont understand why people think it is a choice when it's not. i have my beliefs and i am good with what i believe and period whether it is a sin or not. it is a sin to be a drunkie when we all are. anyway a year has gone by and my mom doesnt openly accept it but we have a better relationship now after i moved out for a month or so we became closer and now i no longer live at home but we still talk almost on a day to day basis. i know that when i get married my family will go although i have some that dont believe in it or are against it but i know that the ones that matter the most to me will attend if they can and it makes me really happy. when my mom accused me of sleeping with my best friend it broke me down and we even went to counseling and stuff only one session though i told her i was doing it for her cause she needed it not me. before i used to wish i wasnt gay or anything but i
 
Hi Tyra! I know how hard it can be for these people when their own family does not accept them for who they are. I myself have a brother who is 100% against homosexuals and I don't understand why. If my cousin was about to marry his boyfriend I would definitely attend his wedding because nothing is more beautiful then two people who love each other to vow their loyalty to one another.
 
Hey peoples :) I have a Gay Brother and as we were watching the show Iasked him if I could be his maid of honer. LOL I see nothing wrong with the two woman getting married. And I belive all states should let gay people get married. They have done nothing wrong and cant belive most people are shocked and thing less of them.If I was invited to a wedding I would totaly go!
 
I am not gay, but I experienced a very similar situation to Juliana's. I met my husband during my freshman year at college, and we immediately clicked and connected. We were pretty much inseparable. However, I come from a strict Catholic family, and this new boyfriend was an atheist. I was and am open-minded and accepted this about him. My family refused to. In fact, that summer, when I arrived home, because I was spending so much time with this atheist traitor to my family, I ended up getting kicked out of my house. After being dropped off one night from a date with my boyfriend, I came to the house to find the door bolted shut, and my stepfather ran to the door, yelling at me saying I was not allowed back in the house. So,I went home with my boyfriend and stayed with him and his best friend at their house. The next morning, after my mother changed the locks on the door, my little sister snuck me in the house so that I could take my belongings before they were thrown out to the curb. Not even a year after we began dating, my boyfriend and I were almost forced into living together. Our relationship grew, and, not too long after that, we became engaged. I called my mother with the news and was basically scoffed at. She only came to see me once and didn't even want to see the ring. She told me that she didn't want to be part of my wedding. So, my husband and I eloped 10-8-2005, taking only my twin sister, her boyfriend, and my husband's best friend. I am happier than anything with my husband, and, although my family has started to come around, the pain is still always close
 
Where do people get off saying that christians don't have the right to give their opinion when Tyra asked Lia for her opinion.  I am very dissappointed that Tyra would insinuate that Lia had to go to the wedding and accept the marriage to be a better mother. I feel like Tyra was trying to minipulate Lia and her husband into feeling bad and attending the wedding. I know according to the true word (the Bible) this is not a Godly marriage.  Tyra I can't believe you tried to compare this to a person in prison for murder.  Do you think for a minute that any mother would watch a son or daughter commit murder and approve of it.  When someone is in jail for murder they are not committing murder anymore, therefore that sin is not being committed and it can be forgiven.  After a gay or lesbian marriage the sin is still being committed.  Thats a big difference from a past sin, and it can't be forgiven until it ends.  Also, Lia was not saying that she was ending the relationship with her daughter.  Her daughter can always meet mother anywhere were they can be separate from the lesbian relationship. I don't blame the mother or father for going to the wedding, I just feel for them and pray they can trust God to help them through this difficult time.
 
If you know people who are gay what is the problem? If they are friends or family members that you are bonded to how could you not show your support. I suspect we have all known people in our lives that we didn't agree with things they did, however we still maintained a relationship with them. How is this any different. My daughter tells me that when she and her friends get together and the subject comes up of comeing out to your parents/family comes up there are often horror stories being told. This is something she really can't relate to as it took me about 5 mins to come to terms with it when she told me. the 5 mins had to do with the 2+year relationship she had with a boy in high school. took me a few minutes to sort out 'gay' in my head thinking of that, otherwise its was a no big deal to me. she's my daughter and I love her AND its not my life! when she told me a few weeks ago that she and her partner of 6 years wanted to get married, legally in Connecticut, in 2 weeks, I made it all happen for them! What else could I do, or would want to do. I guess since it isn't an issue for me, I don't understand how anyone could have a problem with it. You have to let others live their own lives is really what it all comes down to.
 
Hay Tyra and Folks: This Trayvon from Moreno Valley Calf would I go to some one wedding if I was not confrotable with it: well I would talk to the person and tell them how i fell about the hole thing. I fell like this it's not about you. It's about that person .. what would i do if i was geting married and my family was comeing. I would be very disapointed that my Family did come to my wedding. But I would have to respect my family decision on nor comeing to my wedding. I know deep in my hart thay love me.
