[quote=NotSoAnonymous]I work at a Christian preschool and I have met a few gay couples when on playground with my son. As soon as I mention that I work at a christian school I get then sense that they are pulling back. I am not sure how to respond to this. Also as a side note my mom came out a few years ago but I was not raised my gay parents (they got divorced when I was 17). I guess my question is "what's the best way to say I'm Christian but not homophobic?".

A:  I fully admit this is one of my personal faults. One of my now dear friends wears a cross necklace. When we met (in a work setting) I was careful to not talk about personal things. Eventually we got to know one another an things were fine. I need to give people the benefit of the doubt, but have been hurt before (oh the dramatics!)

Easiest way to signal all is well is to say something nice like "oh what does your partner think about Bobby's haircut or My husband and I are going to Boston this weekend- where do you and Linda like to go?". In my experience people who are unfortable pretend the rest of my family doesn't exist. [/quote]
