Anyone else ? /:

I have some questions about talking to straight guys. I emphasize straight only because gay guys are so much easier to talk to. I'm gay but still in the general closet, meaning my parents are aware and some of my very close trustworthy friends, but no one else. Haha but I have this problem where like I never know what to talk about with straight guys. They're like awkward, even if they are popular. It may just be me but I'm popular and very easy going, so talking to people and being social has never been a humongous issue in my own life. However, I seem to have this problem where I can't seem to have a decent conversation with straight guys. Help ?:(

Weird, i have never had any problems talking to my gay friend, the only difference is, that when we are comparing our conquests, mine is with a girl, and his is with a boy. Everything else, we talk like "normal" conversations, like TV, sports etc

Hmm. I only run into problems with straight guys when they start talking about sport, that's just because I have no interest in any mainstream sports though and has nothing to do with my sexuality. Generally I find it more difficult to talk to some of my gay friends, can't put my finger on why though.

I believe that this is because some straight guys are somewhat deterred by the pure fact that you are gay. People in general can not cope with those who are not like them. This is the sole reason for war. If these people do not accept you quickly, then they do not deserve you at all. You need to find people who accept you for you, and can ignore your sexuality. I managed to do this, and one of my better friends is gay. He is fun to hang around with, and we enjoy some of the same things. You do not have to float with the "popular" crowd, just as long as you have people that accept you for you. :)

Not sure this really applies, since he said he's pretty much he's in the closet. They can't judge him for being gay if they don't know he is, can they?

OOPS I missed the part about being in the closet. XD Next time i decide to ramble, i think i should read the whole question first. :P So just disregard my entire comment earlier....... Sorry everybody. Wow. This is embarrassing. XD

In my opinion, If u want to "come out to every friend you know then put it on a social networking site e.g ( Facebook, Twitter, My Space, etc.) and let them know as they see it. It'll be simplier and faster than verbally announces your sexual orientation. BUT AS A WORD OF CAUTION, DON'T COME OUT OF THE CLOSEST IF YOU BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE MAY TRY TO ENDANGER YOUR SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT THAT U ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, PREDIJUCE PEOPLE CAN DO THAT SOMETIMES. SO JUST BE CAREFUL WHO U OPEN UP TO. ~ Swagging god

I have three straight friends who are great to talk to - they're not gay but they are such great friends. The type of friends who are extremely open.

I talk about normal things with them and when we talk about sex they actually ask me about guys and stuff - they really are some of the exceptions to today's society where people who like the same sex are constantly pounded with all sorts of names and labels.

Just try talking normally, I have noticed myself that there are guys who are hard to talk to but you have to do your best to avoid them :)

I'm out to everyone and honestly have never experienced that from MY point of view, not saying that some of the straight guys that I consider friends have the same feelings. I'm also a jock I guess, being a swimmer and playing baseball in school so I have a lot of team mates that I talk to and always seem to be able to talk to about anything.
