One of my very close friends has just told me that he is homosexual. He is an atheist so he has no ties to religon at all. I am a newly married male as of (June 14th) so he did not tell me this to come on to me. Like I said he is a close friend but not in that way. I am confused. Part of me says that it is his life and what he wants to do is his buisness. The other part of me says that I dont want him to be homosexual. I have none him for about 3 years and he has dated girls and had sexual relationships with women. Some questions that I think of are. If I invite my friends over to my house and they bring there girlfriends over do I ask him to bring his boyfriend. I dont know what to do. Should I just think this is nothing and do nothing and dont think of it ? I have nothing against homosexual people at all. It is a free world and they can do what ever they want, but now for the first time it has come into my life and I would like to hear some peoples opinions.. Please respond to my account. I dont read news much.

If you want to post something you should probably cc him directly. Obviously I'm not going to get my desire of having a respite from discussions of homosexuality, but I would like to avoid yet another discussion of the Biblical prohibitions. We've been through that recently. --clh]
