I babysit until midnight for this woman, so she can't drive me home. Her kids are in bed and they have school the next morning, so shed have to wake them up. So, she has one of her coworkers drive me home. He's really nice.. But, he's gay. I feel really uncomfortable about it. I sensed it the first time he drove me home, he said a house was pretty. And then I told him I liked country music and he said, So reba? I think she's country i know she has a tv show... And well I haven't ever heard a straight guy say anything like that! So I decided to facebook him and well it turns out he is in fact gay and in a relationship for 20 years with a man.... What should I do? I just feel so weird about this! The bible says homosexuality is a sin and I'm associating with someone who is choosing to live in sin with a man! (link)

ADDITIONAL: I saw your feedback and I'm usually NEVER rude to people and NEVER abusive which this isn't.
But... I do have the responsibility as an advice giver to be brutally blunt here. You're clueless when it comes to your view of gay people trying to impose their lifestyle on you or trying to make you gay even. It is ridiculous and 100% factually unfounded and may get you in trouble with other people one day.
I respect your religion but you are way off-base when it comes to reality. They are into people they know are gay and know that you aren't and therefore have no interest in you.
They aren't going to be doing that or imposing a lifestyle or trying to make you gay even. They aren't out to do any such thin and stats/research firmly back that up. If you got to know someone who actually was gay and pushed aside these views for a moment you would see this as true.
ORIGINAL:
One in twenty people are gay. It's a fact. No matter your interpretation of the bible NONE of them chose their orientation and we're born this way. I have yet to see the verses that say otherwise.
Wouldn't GOD love all of his creation no matter what? Jesus never judged others and often hanged around with those deemed sinners and often healed them.
You don't have to like this person's lifestyle but you have to be tolerant and treat him like you would anyone else and see the good in him and his accomplishments in spite of orientation. There's a lot he could teach you about being a real Christian. Don't pass judgment on him.
I think you should really get to know this person and see good things about him rather than deny yourself a friend. As far as associating with someone who is gay, lesbian or bisexual no doubt you have been at school, work, anywhere you go for years without the person being open with it.
It's time to get rid of fear and prejudice towards them. If you were this man how would you feel if he didn't want to associate with you if you were gay? Think about it.

Well I'd never be gay for it's a sin. And I do see the good in him he works at a nursing home. And he goes out of his way to give me a ride home. I'm going to just grin and bear it, as long as he doesn't impose his lifestyle choice on me I won't mention it.
