They think the bible is divinely inspired, but partly untrue? Well, I can only conclude they think that God gets things wrong then. The fact that he did so in the only reference we have about him makes God seem doubly stupid.
What your friend really means (in my opinion) is that they like the idea that it's divinely inspired, but they are still going to ignore bits that don't line up with their own morality. You know, what every religious theist does.
In other words, the Bible was inspired...by some unknown homophobic ignoramus.
