Default If your roommate turned out to be agnostic and gay what would you do?

If you were Southern Baptist, Catholic, Bible Church, Church of Christ, Mormon, Islam, very religious, and or conservative what would you do if you found out your roommate was agnostic, non-religious, and gay? The roommate doesn't bring home boyfriends, keeps all beliefs to himself, and does not find the roommate attractive.

What would you do to the roommate? Would you try to have him evicted? Harass or bully him out? Beat him up? Get him in trouble with the law by setting him up? Ignore him? Befriend him? Welcome him? Stay neutral and relaxed? Etc.

Actually you need at least one more option, you left out the one that goes " Since they are reasonably intelligent, befriend them, but, then again, I'm not a christian either. Ergo, I do not have a christian perspective and......I only dislike the christians that preach at me. I am also not gay, but am also not homo-phobic, after all......gay guys and I are not competetory on the food chain.

If he knew my flaws, he might be the one who wanted to leave.

If he's a good guy, honest & not a total slob, that's what matters.

I would treat him/her the same as any other room mate, and judge/treat him/her based on their character.

But technically speaking, artsy, I won't mind as long he doesn't start hitting on me

I've had two incidents of gay men hitting on me and it creeped me out to kingdom come LMAO

I wouldn't care. But then again I'm an atheist. I don't care if someone is gay or if they aren't religious.
