Question

I would be friends with them, but chances are, they wouldn't be friends with me. In fact, one of my closest friends is like this. She won't have any relations with gay people, and her entire family is very homophobic. It's kind of sad because she had to cut ties with decent people because she treats them like abominable sinners. She's also Catholic btw, and treats her Catholic and conservative views very seriously.

Nope. Why should I be friends with someone who thinks I live "incorrectly"?!?

Ok let me ask you this. Would you be friends with a pro lifer if you’re pro choice?

On the average, no. Not really.

If our morality doesn't line up, I'm not friends with them.

I don't wish them ill, but they are far from on my friendly list.

Ok let me ask you this. If you are pro choice what is your personal view of abortion?

It's no one's choice but the woman. Really simple.

So no personal view?

It’s hard to have a personal choice especially if it differs from a political stance. Kinda makes ya feel wishy washy so it’s ok u don’t wanna answer.

Well, I'm actually pro-life but I would be friends with people who actually had an abortion. So the reverse should be true too.

I answered. You just don't seem to think I did. *Shrug*

My answer was "it's no one else's decision but the pregnant woman's" and potentially her partner.

Im friends with a few people who aren't ok with me being trans. I've also lost some cuz they felt that way.

You do know pro-choice also includes being ok if someone decided to have the child and not abort?

My personal view is what's right for me might not be right for others. I don't know if id keep a child or not if I was pregnant. But who am I to say what a person should do in their own shoes? Theirs is not mine. They can keep or abort or put up for adoption regardless of how I personally would decide

If you were gay would you be friends with people who thought being gay was wrong for others?

It depends on the person. I've had friendships with people that differ wildly from me on subjects that often cause division among people. Sometimes I did it by keeping off the subject in our conversations and concentrating on things where we did agree. Other times we would enjoy long and sometimes loud discussions on the subject, but always coming back to the position that our friendship was more important than being right about something. It's not as if either one of us could actually do anything about it.

At other times, there have been people that were so obsessed with something, and talked about little else, that our interaction became too uncomfortable to continue.

I will say though that a really deep friendship (rare!) is difficult to attain when you are editing your remarks all the time.

What's more likely to break up a friendship for me is what a person does, not what s/he says.

What does moving in with your GF have to do with being gay as a sin.....?!?!!

My Christian friend perceives homosexuality and sex out of wedlock as equal sins because they are both forbidden in his bible. So the fact that we can remain friends even though I was having sex out of wedlock tells me we also would remain friends if I were gay.
Actually; there are plenty of sins I regularly engage in while remaining friends with Christians, such as; I regularly rob God by not tithing to the church (Malachi 3:8), I was around my girlfriend when she was on her period (Leviticus 15:19), as a religious skeptic there were lots of things that I did that were sinful according to his bible; yet we remained friends.
