Heres the situation. One of my best friends is a lesbian. And she's getting married. I wasn't expecting to be asked to be her maid of honor. It was a complete shock. I would absolutely love to do so. It was a complete honor for her to ask me. However. I work at a Bible Camp. I honestly don't think that I will be able to go and support her without risk of losing my job. What in the world do I do? I'm planning on talking to my boss in the morning. I've worked here for roughly three years. I know the camp's stance on homosexuality. My boss doesn't know that I am also heavily questioning my orientation. I need to reply to my friend in the morning/by lunch time max. She asked me by text.
Do you have to give your superiors details? Just say you are going to your friend's wedding. You might not have to say it's to another girl.
As above. You are maid of honour at a wedding. It's none of his business as to the details and you are not breaking any law by attending.
If there is little chance that your employer finds out about it, then there is no problem. You are under no obligation to tell them what you do on your free time. If there is a chance that they could find out, you could point out to them at that point that you were not aware that you are prohibited from attending weddings without pre-approval while working for them. It's God's job to judge, not yours.
It's none of your employer's business what you're doing on your time. If you need time off to attend the wedding, ask for it. You don't owe them an explanation of what you'll be doing with your time off but if they demand it just say that it's a personal matter or you're maid of honor at a friend's wedding.
Amen. Your boss is not obligated to know anything other than that you are the maid of honor at a friend's wedding.
