The first rule to evangelizing homosexuals is that you love them. One of W.E. Sangster’s seven rules for personal evangelism is “Do not set out to make people good – love them.”
Phillips Brooks wrote that one of the elements “of a preacher’s power is genuine respect for the people whom he preaches to.” (Lectures on Preaching p. 52) Brooks’ statement is true for every Christian; if you speak of homosexuals with contempt, disgust, and hatred, you will not win them to Christ.
