Christians shouldn't be against any person—no matter what they do. Being friends with someone who is LGBTQ+ is perfectly OK so long as sexuality is not something you struggle with personally. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are just as equally loved AND equally guilty of sin as those who have put their faith in Christ (1 John 2:2; Romans 3:23). You may disapprove of their sin, but that doesn't mean you should treat them any differently than anyone else (John 13:34). Love them, give them grace, forgive them for making mistakes—basically be an awesome friend! Plant the seeds of faith, but let God do the growing in their hearts.
According to the Bible, Christians should actually NOT be "against" homosexuals. Yes, physical homosexual acts are a sin, but the fact that someone struggles with (or has embraced) homosexuality has nothing to do with how you treat that person. You should absolutely still have love, compassion, and mercy for the LGBTQ+ community—just like you would for any other human being.
Jesus told us in Matthew 22:36-40 that after loving God, we need to love our neighbors, which refers to anyone other than yourself. He never tells us to hate anyone for any reason. The apostle Paul talks about the power of love in 1 Corinthians 13. He says that no matter how many good things he does, if he doesn't do them in love, there is zero point in doing them at all.
If you have a relationship with an existing friend/family member who identifies as LGBTQ+, this is our advice: LOVE THEM.
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
