A question for Muslims...is it okay to have gay friends?
My best mate is gay. We are so close and I just found out a few days ago that he is gay.
Is it ok to remain friends with him? I love him dearly much, but I need to know...I watched this program called 'Skins' and there's two best friends, Anwar (who is Muslim) and Maxxie (who is gay), and Anwar tells Maxxie that he can't be his friend anymore because he's a Muslim and he doesn't choose his friends. Poor Maxxie was really really sad and offended...
So what do you Muslims think? Is there anywhere written in Islam where you can't be friends with gay people?

I have no idea. But look at it like this. In Islam, smoking is haram. How many muslims are friends with those who drink and smoke?
Homosexuality is a sin in Islam. Just like drinking, smoking and sex outside marriage.

If you base your life on skins you deserve to be hit by a bus.
Fixed.
There's no reason why you can't be friends with someone who is gay, if you can't be friends with someone who does things that are sins in Islam that means you can only be friends with other muslims - after all why should being gay be different from eating pork or having sex before marriage? They're sins too but I bet you have friends that do those things...

Smoking isn't haram, just an fyi. It's not at the level of drinking, eating pork, etc--those things are defined as things that you absolutely cannot do.
Would your religion really stop you from being friends with someone, albeit that you're not carrying out the 'wrong' deeds he is?
Know your own ******* religion so you can justify believing in it.

YES IT IS! Anything that harms your HEALTH is haram in Islam!
Go consult an expert before you make these silly assumptions!
I would love to know how many people replying to this thread are actually muslim! The question was directed at muslims!
OP: If I were you, I'd ask at your local mosque or someone with a lot of knowledge, the responses you're gonna get on tsr won't be the most helpful.

If you were only allowed to have sinless friends, you'd probably end up with no friends at all.

In what way have we not been helpful?
Most of the answers here are sensible and the others are either blatantly trolls or just outright dumb
