My lifestyle is exactly the same as yours. I clean the house, make the dinner, moan about the crap on Tv and do the grocery shopping. If you mean the “bedroom” side of things, well that’s not a problem. Gays will accept you the way you are, but we also don’t want to hear what you get up to in the bedroom.
Let me try and give you an honest answer to the religious part of your question. Being gay isn’t a choice and God knows this. I can live alone for the rest of my life or find a loving partner. I’m sorry if that makes me an evil person, but God knows the truth and not everything that’s said in the bible is true. If we went back to biblical times I could have a slave as my property, go with a prostitute and have sex with an underage girl if I married her (all acceptable practices in biblical times).

I feel your wrong actually I feel people are born gay and if someone is born a certain way then how can you say their sinners. Sure its not something that's normal but neither are alot of things that mankind as created and do. Also how would you know what God plan is your not God. The only thing people go by is the bible which was written I don't no thousands of years ago. Then on top of that a language that could have been misinterpreted. Your sinning your damn self for being a hypocritical "so called" Christian or whatever your religion is. I am not even gay and this **** makes me angry because you shouldn't feel people who can't help the way they are sinners. You might as well say disable or dis-formed people are sinners their not normal. I feel God created the first woman and man and just sort of let what happened happen. God may help but your do make your own choices after that little accident in the garden I do believe God just let things go about their own way. That was the punishment and since it was gays are just how genes sort of took their own turn. Your a sinner yourself and you are judging. I hate your lifestyle.

Well if you don't support their lifestyle then you would probably make a horrible friend. I think it is funny when people refer to God's plan, yet they still commit many sins. Everyone is a sinner, whether or not they sleep with people of the same sex or not. If you believe in God then you are humble enough to know that you aren't the judge. He is! And a piece of advice I tell my little niece. First worry about yourself and when you are perfect, then worry about someone else. If you want to follow God's plan, then love all his creations with out prejudice. Everyone is here for a reason.

You never mention their lifestyle. That is their business. Concentrate on the things you have in common with one another. Do not attempt to convert them to anything using their lifestyle as a starting point for discussion. Other than their lifestyle, they are probably the same as anyone who you attend church with, and perhaps many of those you attend church with are not straight as well. (Don't ever think that just because someone is a church-goer and married or has been married at one time, that he or she is automatically straight.)
Read about homosexuality, its history and how any sexual orientation develops in humans. Don't be ignorant of basic human psychology and sexuality. And know the difference between homosexuality, bisexuality, and asexuality. And please, do not rely on books and tracts authored by ultra-conservative male ministers or priests who haven't got the foggiest idea of what human psychology is all about. These characters are ignorant and do far more harm than good.

I can because I don't believe there is a "gay lifestyle", as there is no such thing as a "straight lifestyle". I think that term is nothing more than a piece of meaningless rhetoric. I mean can anyone accurately define a lifestyle that is exclusive to GLBT people?
The only difference between gay people and straight people is who they fall in love with and that hardly constitutes anything bearing any sort of resemblance to a distinct and unique lifestyle.

Ditch your hate.
I think most are used to some sense of forigness, I have one friend/aquatience who is Muslim who i was not sure whether to tell i was bi. Before i did she ended up on a bit of a story about someone she knew thinking HIV was a plague sent by god to kill the homosexulas. I think my scared look gave me away. I don't think she quite feels that way herself.
I think you can be as surprised and confiused as you like and still be a good friend, but if you really do think they are sinners you probably have to change you thinking before you can be a good friend. Focus on what they feel for their partner rather than what they do.
A lesbian Christian i knew once (man, have some interesting firends) said that she thought that God must be ok with homosexuality because if he wasn't he wouldn't have made her gay. She did however still beleive in being faithful to her partner and not engaging in lustful meaningless sex (she was angligan not catholic so sex for love was within her beflifes).

Most gay people's lives do not revolve around sex. They have jobs, hobbies and other interest. I am heterosexual, but i do not go around announcing this to everyone or discussing my sex life with anyone other than my husband. My friends and I share other interests. If I sincerely believe that one of them is behaving in a way that dishonors their Creator, I will be honest and tell them. They do the same for me and I appreciate it since I do not want to do this. Of course, there will always be times when a friend vehemently disagrees and may even reject you as a friend because of it. While this is unfortunate, you will have acted in harmony with your conscience and hopefully the friendship can be salvaged. True friends are rare and precious. It would be foolish to toss one away for something that is really a small part of who you are.

Is your homosexual friend asking you to support their lifestyle? (I doubt it. & What homosexual wants to have a friend like you around?)
-If you truly want to be friends with this person don't worry about who's in their bed. Just simply be their friend. That's all to it.
When you judge the sin you're still judging the sinner and who are you to look at people by their sins? You sin, too. So just mind your business, let them live their life and you be the best 'whetever religion' you can be.

What's a "Gay Lifestyle?"
Do they have gay cars? How about Gay Houses?
Do they pay Gay taxes? Or come from Gay families?
No????
OMG OMG OMG
You mean....
Don't say it!!....
You mean they're NORMAL?????
(Get over it. There's nothing about being gay and living a LIFE that needs to be "believed in." It just is. Just as you over zealous Christians used to go around telling everyone the world was flat, the Earth was the center of the Universe and anyone who used their Left hand was suddenly Evil....
Time to grow out of this fable as well.)

i do no longer believe the gay existence style yet who am I to choose yet another guy or woman and their options? I certainly would by no ability ever condone my infant laying their palms on yet another infant for any reason, gay or no longer! i do no longer condone bullying in any problem and if I have been to confirm that my daughter became bullying different toddlers, no count the clarification, i'd rain down my wrath on her!! Violence is by no ability the respond to fixing a conflict. And God is the only genuine choose. My daughter is barely 9 months previous yet she would manage to be attentive to from the 2nd she would manage to appreciate that we are ALL God's toddlers and all of us are deserving of affection and compassion.
