And now they wont let me hang out with her. What could I say to them to make them change their minds?

Remind them of all the common interests you have with your friend (going to movies, or whatever) and that you'll miss her companionship. Remind them that being homo is not a choice and that your friend will not be able to convert you.
Also, make sure you tell your friend that you are not ignoring her because you don't like her anymore. Tell her the truth about your parents' bigotry.

Alas, there is very little you can do, but you are not helpless!
Contact PFLaG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and ask them for literature. They have some good info for how to bring the subject up, how to alleviate your parent's fears that homosexuality is contagious, and advise on how to confront their prejudice.
Good luck!

this kind of reaction is usually due to fear and ignorance even if it is a religious thing. you may not be able to have her in your home for a while bubt that shouldn't stop you from being friends.normally, i'd say do as you're told but, in this case it's just stupid. stay friends with her and just meet up in neutral territory. in time, your folks may change their minds.
