I would not befriend a homosexual, for the same reason I would not befriend a witch, a kidnapper, a murderer, or child-molester.

That is not to say I would not be a good samaritan to one of those individuals. Loving your neighbor means desiring godliness for them in all things. The best for the aforementioned list is grace and repentance. Until they become Christians there is no need to have fellowship with the unfruitful. Neighbors yes, friends no.

Let them know where you stand, and pray for them. Show them kindness, but not warm affection. Remind them that any good deed they experience by your aquaintance is God's mercy and longsuffering towards them.

Many of them are seeking approval, not the truth that can set them free.
