Like my answer to your race question it shouldn't matter what their sexuality is.

 ???What do mean? a person sexuality should have nothing to do with why your friends with someone, and you shouldn't become friends with someone because you think its what someone else wants, you should only be friends with a person because you find the person interesting or you have common interest and because you truly enjoy that persons company.

As for wether or not your a good person thats not for me to say or judge, but your statements is a little offensive, though I'm sure its unintentional

Although I don't agree with the bi-sexual lifestyle, that does not mean that you cannot talk respectfully with a person that is into that. I mean in casual conversation. As far as hanging around with them, I personally woudn't go that far. Not because I am passing judgement on them, but I would have no interest in talking with someone that might focus on that subject matter. Whatever the situation is, everyone must individually live by their own personal principles and convictions. I think too many people today just "whitewash" everything into one ideal that if you don't accept it, that means that you are not "normal" like "everyone" else. I don't want to be like "everyone else. I want to be the person God made me to be. I don't hate black people, (I'm married to one) but I really don't like rap music at all. (nor does she) It's just a personal choice.

For example...I used to work a job where every year I would get invited to their annual Christmas party. Although I worked closely with these people and talked and interacted with them five days a week at work, I chose not to "fellowship" with them at their annual party or outside of work. Not because I disliked them, but because I knew that just about everyone there would be getting stone drunk and I just don't want to be around that type of environment. Like I said, I don't dislike bi-sexuals (as people), I just don't agree with the lifestyle they choose to live. Some people I guess look at this as judging, but I look at it as just simply separating the person from the lifestyle they choose to engage in. There is a difference in that. Whenever I and my wife go out to a restaurant and we are served by a gay waiter, I don't call the manager over and request one that is "strait". But I also don't (choose) to go out and "party" with them later.
 
In answer to your question (finally huh?) I do think you are a good person. Most people generally are. If you choose to be friends with them, that is your choice so long as you understand that with every choice comes consequences. (both good and bad) I chose to marry someone that is of another color and race. Not everyone accepted my choice but it was "MY CHOICE" and mine alone and I have NEVER felt ashamed, embarrassed or EVER regretted that I made it.  :thumbsup:

Opinions have no effect on whether you are a good person the real question is do you think you are a good person talking to a bi sezxual person does not make you a good or bad person to me the measure of a good person is what they are willing to do for others with no expectations if you check on the elderly neighbor, help a friend move, befriend someone new to town, go out of your way to be polite and respectful these are all examples of things i think help make a good person so are you a good person only you can truthfully answer that question

I see lot's of peeps using "your" instead of "you're". Sorry, but that bothers me. A Pet peeve of mine. Where were you when they taught that as children?

From the beginning of time, we as humans gravitate to people who are in the same class and lifestyles as we are.  That's why Harlem is mostly black and Manhatten is mostly white.  But we can be tolerant of others beleifs and cultures and sometimes, when we aren't looking, a nice person can come into our lives and be a wonderful friend that we wouldn't normally have accepted....... :angel12:

You really are a pathetic person.  Who died and told you that you were better than anyone else on this earth?  What has a persons sexual orientation have to do with you being a human being.  Guess what God doesn't love him any less than he loves you.

My best friend in high School was gay and oh boy did we always have fun together.  He was the kindest and funniest person I had ever met and I loved him because of his kind heart.  I remember the days we always partied together.  Good times.

Guess what they hurt just like you do.  They love just like you do.  Get over yourself.

Okay what does his sexuality have to do with the type of person that he is.
I been through that guys not wanting to be my friend because of my sexuality because they thought that all gay or bi guys were the same and would try to turn them but once they really got to know me they figured out that I was just a regular dude the only difference was that I didn't like females. Once they got to see me as person my sexuality had no meaning. So honestly if you are just his friend because his bi-sexual then no but if you like him as a friend they yes that's just a question that you really need to ask yourself personally.
