I’m homeschooled... My cousin and a friend is gay. My parents (DeplorableAmerican1776) have gay friends. Am I gay? No, but why should I drop my friend and my cousin because they are. I’m not religious, however, did Jesus ignore the hooker or the tax collector? No. (I do read the Bible, but we don’t go to church every Sunday.)

Good to hear you read the Bible. Hopefully someday you’ll outgrow the stifling, self-destructive, self-loathing beliefs that permeate your generation and see the Bible and Jesus as not just wise and healthy, but what we are trying to conserve.

Yes Jesus rightfully welcomes all because He took part in creating us and thus He loves each of us more than we can ever imagine.

He knows we are all sinners, but yet, He still wants us to return to Him.

Yes, Jesus welcomes your gay friends and me equally, despite each of us being hopless sinners.

But the thing you are hellbent on ignoring is that Jesus does not want us to promote sin.

You are promoting sin by celebrating the self-destructive fixations of your generation: homosexuality.

If you open your eyes to the Bible, since you want to promote yourself and your generation as the most open minded in the history of the universe, you’ll see that he accepted the hooker and the tax collector, but he didn’t celebrate prostitution and tax collecting, much less promote it.

Jesus would like you to continue accepting and loving your homo aquaintances, but he would point out you are making a grave mistake in promoting and celebrating homosexuality.

How do you know they're gay? Do they tell you? Why? Do you talk explicitly about sex acts with them? If someone, as a friend, talked openly about sex acts with their spouse, would you think that appropriate? Homosexuals' entire existence is defined by the fact they can't achieve sexual satisfaction in the normal way. Their obsessive need for "acceptance" is a reflection of their own tormented conscience.

I couldn't care less about someone's sex issues, EXCEPT THEY USE THE LAW AND CULTURE TO MAKE ME CARE.

There's a joke you're probably too young to get that the love that dare not speak its name has becomevthe love that won't shut the hell up.

....did Jesus ignore the hooker or the tax collector? No. (I do read the Bible, but we don’t go to church every Sunday.)

Jesus did not ignore them, but do not think that Jesus condoned sin, for He did not. He told the adulterer to go and sin no more.

You are taking the easy way, which is "go along to get along", which leads to more of the same. It is the cowards route. Do you really think that you are in any way at all loving your errant friends by letting them slide into hell with their unrepentant sin? They need tough love from a true friend, not slimy, but loveless kisses from someone who may care more about his own social status than their eternal souls.
