So My New Friend Is g*y...?

Question

This new guy started working at my job and we became friends. We both liked the same stupid shows (Arrested Development, The Office, Etc...) and started hanging out. Everything's cool.

Then a couple days ago he told me he had to tell me something... that he's g*y. I don't care.. I'm comfortable enough with myself to have a friend who is as long as he understands it will stay platonic.

The thing is... I'm scared about other people talking about me like I'm g*y and thinking something. I don't have anything against people because of their lifestyle but how do I react/confront those who point fingers and down-talk?

Appreciate it.

Answer 1

Well if you're really his friend, you would stand up for him and not be embarressed by him. Right? You dont have to worry about what others think. Keep your head up! I've been in the same perdicament.

Answer 2

just stay friend's,

I bet you he's thinking about the same thing too,

he'll probably try hard to act straight in front of your friends for you,

besides if anyone sais anything just play the g*y card on them

"ohh, so your homophobic"

Answer 3

If you're comfortable enough about yourself to have a g*y friend, hopefully you're comfortable enough to stand up to people's mistaken impressions.    You probably won't have any problems with it - I don't think many people really assume that anyone who has a g*y friend is g*y.  More and more people are coming out of the closet as it becomes more acceptable so more and more people are realizing that they themselves have q***r friends.  If someone confronts you about it feel free to correct them and tell them that you're straight but you're not so narrow minded that you won't be friends with a g*y guy.

Answer 4

Ignore those people. They will insult you more and further if you replied.
