The saddest and most thought provoking situation I have been involved in lately is meeting someone who is now a good friend of mine; a gay, Christian, conservative guy.
He has his pistol permit. He's libertarian conservative who believes 100% in defending the Constitution. He believes he will probably go to Hell for being a homosexual. He says he was born that way and just knew from a very early age that he did not like girls and was attracted to guys. He is truly disgusted by outward displays of sexual affection, both homosexual and heterosexual, gay pride parades, cries for "equal rights" (he says special rights), etc.
He believes in the Bible and it tears me up that he believes he will go to Hell. I guess he's still trying to figure out why God made him a walking irony. I wonder myself what God's plan for him was, if he indeed was born gay.
He's not promiscious, I think he's been with a couple of people before, but he wants to find a like-minded guy and be in a committed relationship. I guess the moral of the story is that not all gay guys are promiscuous flamers.

Someone should tell him that the ACT is wrong, not the "orientation". Perhaps a better word would be susceptibility. We are all susceptible to every evil, just not all to the same degree.

Your friend sounds like a nice guy. Maybe it will help him to know that God made us ALL sinful in one way or another and one is not worse than another. God knows mankind can not help being who God made them (sinners)
Whats bad about sin of any kind is not in the sin but Non-Repentance. Your friend sounds like he's repentant to the point of being too harsh on himself.
