Responding pastorally to a parent whose daughter came out as bisexual: distinguish identity from sin, love without approval

Key problem: contemporary culture connects sexuality to identity, making any critique feel like an attack on personhood. The biblical position is that same-sex attraction is a sin inclination from the sin nature, not a core identity. Pastoral approach: understand what she thinks, ask questions, create a conversational space, show love without offering approval (modeling God's posture). Mike recommends Christopher Yuan's book 'Holy Sexuality.'
