My friend of 5 years recently came out and chose not to tell me because he considers me a "homophobe." I'm not, I just disagree with the choice, and, yes, I think it's a choice, and all this is based on religious belief, not disrespect or ignorance.
I recently found out, and I tried to stay calm, but I was really upset he had decided to just not tell me. We talk sometimes now, but things are awkward. We have just one class together this coming year - it's depressing, actually, it's the first year since we've known each other that we don't have English class together - and I feel like it's going to be super awkward between us.
Can you think of anything that might re-break the ice between us?
PS, any comments flaming my religion will be equally returned, thankyou.

I'm not trying to bash on you for your beliefs, trust me, I don't mind about what you believe. It's just, that it actually isn't a choice. People fall in love with other people and it's not always the opposite gender. He probably considered you a homophobe because you believe it's a choice. He's probably upset about that so he didn't tell you. Try to be a bit more open and understanding of the situation and he might possibly come around. I've been around gay people all my life, and I know they don't like it when people say they choose to be this way. Why would they purposely choose to be gay when they get hated, and even killed for it?(My best friend's brother was murdered because he was gay!) I don't think anyone would choose that way of life, thank you very much. So, try to at least, be able to talk about the situation without referring it as "a choice". Go ahead, I don't mind if you keep thinking that it's a choice, I can't stop you, and I won't say, anything like "You're so dumb" Or something stupid like that. I'm just stating facts that I've known though all my gay friends, and the fact that I'm definitely into males. Despite being a transsexual (in a few years f2m). So I'm gay. I guess. xp
