Lost in Mistranslation

Labels never quite stretch out big enough to encompass the totality of a real..... live.... person.

I have a friend who... if identified by his labels... would be "a trip" at best.  He's a Gay... Evangelical.  He's registered as a Republican, often voting Democrat... He watches Fox news and Glen Beck but last election voted for Barak Obama.

He attends events like "Pride" (GLBT event) and "Hill song concerts" (evangelical worship event).  He's also a heavy smoker.

He believes in the real Resurrection of Jesus and the end of the world with a  rapture..... but he often jokes (or at least I think he's joking) that he has stocked his cellar with hundreds of cartons of cigarettes with the expectation that... judgement and divine apocalypse aside... he won't, "make it the first go round."

He hangs out primarily with gay men, (or whoever else feels comfortable enough with him) and at work he smokes with anyone who will smoke with him... including one of the obvious floor homophobes... who he seems to treat as a really good friend.

He often talks religion and God and has even lost multiple friendships with gay skeptics... because of his unwillingness to abandon his faith.  However he believes being gay is not a choice.  He knows "what the bible says"... on "the gay issue".... but believes the language comes from a pagan culture where there's something "not entirely right" about how certain words and phrases have been translated.        

He would one day like for his country to recognize the rights of himself and his other GLBT friends to form legal and binding commitments to the partner of his/her choosing.... and believes it's a tragic mistake that his friends don't share all the legal rights afforded heterosexual couples such as access to  lower insurance premiums... the right to make medical decisions on behalf of partners...  etc.

He would also like for he and his gay friends to be welcomed into (as he puts it) a "bible believing" church (should they so choose to attend one).. that "teaches about Jesus"... and he wants to be accepted for the faith that he has... regardless of differences of opinion on gay issues... much like many people who have been divorced and remarried (some.... multiple times) have differences of opinion on divorce issues.. ("a topic Jesus specifically speaks on"... as he notes) yet have been graciously received by those same types of "evangelical" churches.

What is he?

Conservative....?  Liberal...?  Evangelical?  Orthodox?  Heretic.... ?  Mistaken?   Mis-translated....? Misunderstood....?

What do you do with a guy who won't fit the mold?
