My Best Friend Believes Gay Relationships to Be Sinful

[Swagamemmnon]

So my best friend is very close to me, but due to religious reasons he believes that gay relationships and gay sex are sinful. As a result, I kind of just didn't tell him when I got boyfriends or stuff like that even though he knew I was gay, but he recently heard about one of my exes and I don't know what this will do to our relationship. Any advice?

true friends are accepting of each other. While he may not like your actions he should still accept you if he is a true friend.

He is not your friend , i know that it is easy for me to tell but yeah . My boyfriend told his friend that he is gay and he just left him cause "he dont want people to judge him that he is also gay if he is with us" so yeah those are not your friends.

It is true that homosexuality is a sin according to Christianity, but that doesn't mean he should think any less of you.

Real friends accept each other as they are. They do not judge or try to change you. If he
can´t accept you being gay he isn´t a real friend. Luckily all of my friends accepted me as I was when I came out over a year ago. One buddy had problems first, but after a while it turned out he was bi and we are really close friends again now and even wank buddies.

Wait... he didnt stop being your best friend., so it shouldn't be a big deal.

If he says something, tell him, if not then let it go..
People here are teling you if he was a real friend he wont judge you, but then again if you think about it... dont we all judge our friends in some way or another? telling them if they feel that what they are doing is right or not? (im not talking about his thinking of people being gay, just general)

so don't jump into conclusion, and see how it is.

Respect your best friend in what he believes. Some beliefs dictate opposition in homosexual relations, so still talk to him in anything BUT that.

If you really want to to talk about homosexual relations, talk to a friend who is open about that.

you don't have to agree with him to be his friend, and he doesn't have to agree with you to be your friend. do you still want to be his friend? maybe if you tell him that your personal sexual life is between you and god, so it doesn't have to come between you and him.

Ok, many people have different beliefs. He is entitled to his opinion. He hasn't stopped being your friend. Of course, if he finds out you had sexual relations with a guy before, he has the right to be upset/disappointed but he shouldn't stop being your friend. Don't mention it unless he does, and be honest.
