They really led the church... but I digress....
In the past couple of years, I have tracked a few of them via the internet and there seems to be quite a few who have chosen the homosexual lifestyle. I have wondered if this is a kind of "phase" (similar to 'free love' in the 70's) or a very strong attack by satan...
What do you think?

And yes I have continued to remain in contact with them, and I will continue to do so...

I commend you on sticking with the friendships. But incase you are only doing so in order to hope to get them 'saved' again then I would say stop the friendship now. Not saying you are, but just a word of advise. No one hate empty promises and flattering words than I and the gay I know are looking and wanting genuine friendship just like us. It is funny alot of people in the church treat them like they are contagious, ya know? I for one try and treat everyone the same not matter the sexual orientation. Better be a good friend than a great fraud.
