This is for everyone who is comfortable taking a hard line against homosexuality. You know, those who just say "It's a sin and that's it. Outlaw it"
IT may be a different matter when attached to a face you love or even like a lot.
What if you have a good friend that you really enjoy hanging out with, have known for years, and consider a good person in every way you qualify it - and he calls you and tells you he has had to admit to himself that he is gay? What stance do you take then? What do you say to your friend?
What if he's been having a hard time emotionally lately and suddenly seems happy and content? What if he proceeds into a relationship and is happy? What do you do?

To accept fot some cultures seem to be so hard, I have heard of fathers murdering one of their own because of it...what a sin that is, I think people should learn to accept, any love is good love in my book, it is the hatred and murder we should be more concerned with....I have a few friends who are homosexual, and they are beautiful people, I am not and that doesn't bother them so why should it bother me the way they love....love is better than hate...

I agree with robehren. In my case, I know someone who's gay but his love for the Lord is prevailing. So he might be considered gay because of the manner he speaks (girlish) but that's all. He doesn't do homosexual acts that will remove his joy and God's provision over him. So I can't really say he's gay.

I'm guessing this is not for me, since I'm not against homosexuality, but I'll answer anyway. There are several people very close to me that are gay, including my father an my aunt, as well as quite a few friends. It's not really a different matter, now we can just talk about the positives and negatives differently. All that matters is that they are happy and content if they are your friends and family, regardless of who they love.

well, homosexuality in my opinion is a result of deviation from the supposed sexuality of a person. Usually homosexual people are rebellious. I for one are attracted to both genders but sometimes it's best to follow the mainstream sexuality in order to avoid problems. I think your friend should go in what he believes in with the knowledge of the risk he have to take.
