I have had this happen to me twice! One of my friends was afraid to lose my friendship if she told me so she held it back for 2 years. I started to suspect so when people started telling me rumors about her. I asked her about them and she kind of froze on me, and I knew then that they were true. I love my friends dearly and have only but a few because a good friend is hard to come by, although I have christian convictons against homosexuality, I also have madd love for her as well. Jesus says love the person, hate the sin. I have made it clear to her how I feel and I will be there to support her, but in the same token I cannot support her as to condone the behavior for I believe it is wrong. She understands, although I have chosen to separate myself from her lifestyle, we still talk and go out and chill like old times. I find myself even ministering to her on the regular though, either way I still consider her one of my best friends. People cal me a hypocrite for still associating with her, but I know that God has a plan for everyone's life, who am I to give up on someone who as helped me through some of the hardest times in my life.
It is a hard issue for me because it is very hard to give up on your friends.
