She knows we won’t go to this “wedding” and understands ‘why’ (as best as she can). We explained that we would meet for dinner with her friend’s parents but not beforehand because we don’t want it to be a “meet the parents/pre-wedding” event - which is what she would view it as. We have a relationship with her - though it has always been distant. We’ve explained that we love her - and have shown her we love her. We know we won’t “catch homosexuality”. My wife and I are also always kind and loving to her friend. Part of the thing that makes this whole subject difficult throughout all of society is the either/or mentality…people (not you), but people across society see it as either you agree with same-sex “marriage” or you hate these people. Society does not see the third way…“I love you but you do wrong”…just as Jesus showed the woman at the well. There is no severing of any relationships here.

It must be difficult to only accept dinner invitations from non-sinners. Everyone I’ve ever had dinner with has been a sinner.

Most sinners don’t have dinners for the purpose of normalizing their sin, however.

You must have attended some very interesting dinners! Around her, dinner means we sit together and share food, maybe some wine, conversation and laughs.

Christ took heat from the Pharisees because He and His Disciples had dinner with sinners.

Why would you say that?

Sure. The one we’re actually talking about, however, has a purpose beyond simply being around each other.

Christ didn’t attend dinners to tacitly endorse their sinful behavior. I think we can all remember a time when Christ got really angry at a bunch of sinners in a marketplace, too, so selectively cherry-picking what Jesus has done to try and prove a point is only going to make your argument look shoddy.
 
Why do you think that dinner = “normalizing their sin”?

If your life experience leads you to that perception, then, as I said, you must have attended some very odd dinners. This post is about dinner. Dinner.

Because the purpose of the dinner is to get everyone involved used to the idea that the two girls in question are in a same-sex relationship.

You keep saying that. Doesn’t make it true.

She has invited us to meet her partner’s family pre-“wedding”, etc. at their apartment.

It is true. The original post stated that they had been invited to a family gathering before the wedding happens. Assuming it is a meal.

So true. It’s also one of the reasons you see a disproportionate number of commercials incorporating same-sex couples into their commercials. They want to make that which is not right somehow right…like repeating a lie. Doing so doesn’t make it true.

Exactly. (10 characters)
 
It also amuses me in the dry way to no end whenever people start flinging around the word “Pharisee” anymore. It’s like the Catholic version of Godwin’s Law.
 
My thanks to Wikipedia…“In the story, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God. The episode is frequently alluded to in contexts where the futility of “trying to stop the tide” of an inexorable event is pointed out, but usually misrepresenting Canute as believing he had supernatural powers, when Huntingdon’s story in fact relates the opposite.”
 
If it were my daughter, I’d probably tell her that we don’t agree with this, but I think we’d still go to the rehearsal dinner and wedding anyway. It would be my daughter and despite her lifestyle, she’d still be my daughter. I wouldn’t want anything to come between us.
 
That’s fine.
OP can continue being uptight, and will lose his/her daughter’s respect. It’s a rough choice but there it is, in all it’s stark clarity.

Now imagine this - just theorethically - what happens in 20-30 years IF your magisterium changes its collective mind on how to deal with homosexuals. There will be eggs on faces and relationships destroyed.
Or it won’t. So shunning and insulting a daughter will be just fine for your eternal salvation.
You want to bet on either of those?
