TeAmo,
Huuno, I do not chill with openly homosexual men. Yes, I work with them and they like my personality, I even hugged them (back), they helped me at work, I have been nice and kind to them ( those who needed my help in other times), but I would never have any contacts with them outside the work-place. That is all where it stays. Homosexuality is not a mere sin, it is a faaxishah. And when someone says openly that they practise this kind of faaxisha they are making big statements. They are saying 'God made us this way'. I asked question about this in the extreme section.
I am not God, but I will not associate myself deliberetly with people qomulood. Fanacuudu bilaah.
as for my personal opinion. yes, I am friends with people who have different opinion than mine inlcuding other somalis and Muslims, but that does not mean I will be sitting in a bar or pub with a bunch of Muslims who drinks alcahol or sitting in a bar with anyone.
and to be honest with you, once or twice somali women told me they went out with men ( la seexdeen) or admitted that they drink alcahol, I refused to show them where I live or associate with them.
You see my religion is my way of life. I cannot often differentiate my opinion from the Islamic way. Yes, I make mistakes. My mistakes are often something to do with my desire or confusion but NEVER my own personal opinion. There is not personal opinion matters like this. they are black and white. Have you never heard of the hadith that says ' xumida reeb hadaad reebi weydana qalbiga ka nac'. we cannot do anything about such faaxishah which is encouraged in the media in where we live, but we should not associate ourselves with that. hoosta ka nac. waa maxey ' I chill out with him iyo lipstikiis baan qaatey'
...and stop defending the defenceless. nin dhar naag xidhey is gay. Of course, maan ogi waxu uu sameyo in his private time, but do not you think wearing womens' clothes waa fitnah itself?
I would say your personal opinion is bidcah!
I have an Indian friend at my work place who secretly likes to dress up like a woman. He hasn't told anyone this but me. I went over his a week ago and his closet was aaaaamaaazing. He has so much nice dresses and shoes in there and his make up bag was full. He let me keep some of his lipsticks. I wish I could upload a pic of how sexy he looks when he's a woman. I don't like them as in be with them I just like them coz their cool. If my husband ended up telling me he likes to dress as a woman I would be cool with it 
I don't know why people think it's gay to do this my friend is completely straight
