I'm not Christian or gay, but I'm curious as to what you would do about this.

It is not my place to judge, they will have to answer to God.

Well, as an atheist I would be fine with it. And as an educated individual I'd recall that neurology has long ago demonstrated that homosexuality is a very discernible and incontrovertible difference in the brain.
So I wouldn't fall to ignorant disgust or hatred for those who really don't have much choice in their brain composition/chemistry.
In fact I have a couple of friends that are gay.

First of all I would ask them if they were hitting on me. Then I would tell them that God loves them. NOT ANY MORE OR ANY LESS. I would ask them sincerely and with compassion whether they are happy, whether they WANT to change. If they do I would pray with them and offer any help that I could. This actually has happened. If someone says that...their friend... this is a sign that this is really them, but they are not ready to admit it right now. One must have a patient and loving attitude of compassion. I would tell them that God can change them, make them happy again. Unfortunately, this is something that is not done in a flash, but an attitude of caring is the key.

I am Christian and I do have non-straight friends, and I think of them just the same as I did before I found out. The thing is, you don't have to like everything someone does to like them as a person. No one is perfect, and I if I treated everyone who I knew did something I didn't agree with differently because of it, I would be a friendless hypocrite. So, my friends know I don't agree with it, but they also know that I'm not homophobic.

It is not the right of a person who calls themselves Christian, to judge others. Period. God judges. We are merely human. Christ's message was always one of compassion for our fellowman. Whether you are Christian or not isn't the point. If one has half a brain, one can figure out pretty quickly, that whether or not someone is gay, is their business, not ours. Their sexual orientation does not affect us, so why should it bother us? Gay friends are as worthy of our affection and loyalty as any other friends we hold dear, and that ought to be sufficient.

Being Christian and gay is the exception to the rule.

That would never happen. All of my friends are Christian and know that you cannot be Christian and be in a gay lifestyle.

Lets go a step further and say your son or daughter said they were gay, this happened to us.
Live and let live. Who are we to act in Gods behalf? We both feel it is sac religious to act as if we are above others, this is not what we were taught.
We try hard not to talk with tongue in check. This is why we no longer go to church for we could not tolerate any longer those who think they are God and perfectly in the right to judge others.....

I would love them despite of but on the same note, a requirement of my christian faith is to share the truth of the word of God in a non- condemning way to them. Explain to them that there is a purpose and a plan of God in their life but that also the devil has a purpose and a plan for their life, and then I would see if they wanted to pray the prayer of salvation with me.
If they chose not to convert then I would still love them but at the same time, I couldnt be around their practices because the bible tells me not to be a friend of the world but to love God and reject the world. In this seperation I would continue to interced and pray for them that their blind eyes be opened and that they have a experience with Jesus that they would repent and be saved...

I would respect their opinion. And it's true because I'm christian and I have gay and lesbians friends and I respect their decision. I am no one to judge because I don't want to be judge too.
