As Christians we have for so long berated people for their behaviors or lifestyles without ever asking the deeper questions. I find it a lot more helpful and compassionate to talk to someone about their deepest heart needs than to castigate them for living with their boyfriend, looking at pornography or identifying as homosexual. Criticizing their behavior which they already know is unacceptable from a Biblical viewpoint doesn't touch their heart at all. We are all "prone to wander" as the hymn says and prone to seek value anywhere else but God till we finally find ourselves desperately in need.
