...who has a son about your age. So, can I answer like a Mom would?

Just agree to disagree. Call your friend and let him know you care and because he thinks differently than you do, that does not mean that you cannot be close friends.

My best gal pal and I STRONGLY disagree on the death penalty and we are trial watching junkies ~~ especially murder trials. (Yes, I admit that I am at an age where I can freely say I watch crap like this.) So we just agree to disagree. I know that is not close to issues on sexual orientation, hate crimes, etc., which really hit close to home. But...would you want a best friend who is EXACTLY like you??

Bottom line...find a way to reach out to your friend and just agree to disagree and ignore this particular issue.

That is about the best I can do...and this is just from a Mom. Good luck and here is a hug for you cuz you sound like you are really hurting over this...

:hug:
