Am I dissapointed in my friend? Of course not. Am I disgusted by him? Of course not. The fact that he has sexual relations with men disgusts me, but HE doesn't disgust me. He is not an act, he is a person. And I love him like a brother. Who he fucks will never change that. And me being disgusted by homosexuality sure as heck doesn't make me an Archie Bunker.

Thank you for clarifying... i see where you are coming from now.
I guess the thing is... many people, who express disgust such as yourself... do not also have the ability to be friends or even civil with the people they disagree with... and actually seek to hurt them. There is a fine line.
thanks,
