Love and Respect
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.
