Can a christian befriend a homosexual?
Some can, some can't. I would say it depends greatly upon the Christian.

Despite the Christian's desire for it not to happen, the Christian will be exposed to serious sin and could get caught up in it and fall into sin himself. Especially men as pornography is such a serious and rampant problem in that community. We should never overestimate our spiritual maturity in the face of sin. That being said, it is possible, and even desirable to have relationships with unbelievers so that we can reflect Christ to them. They may never have felt the benefits of being around a genuine Christian and may come to a knowledge of the Lord in this manner.

We should always be aware of the degree to which we get entangled in a life that is inundated with serious sin.
