Straight guys and Gay friends

[kat0060]

Hi Guys Im just wondering if any of you straight dudes out there have close gay friends and if so what your relationship is like and how old are u.
I was Inspired to ask the question by an Australian movie called Newcastle which is partially about this gay teen who has a crush on a straight surfer teen and the close (platonic) relationship that occurs between them once the surfer dude finds out.

thanks

I'm 14 and straight/curious. I have some close friend that are gay, and I'm ok with it.

I'm 15. I have a few pretty close openly gay friends, and they are exactly the same as my straight friends, except they like Penis instead of vagina. :)

I'm 13, I've got an openly gay friend, but he is kind of awkward to be around because he likes me & it's rather annoying at times, but I don't have a problem with Homosexuals.

My best friend and I are both 14. I'm gay, he's straight, but we still have a close relationship. I don't "crush" on him, because that would be pointless. I do have feelings for him, but it's totally platonic.

P101 :arrow: Teen Sexuality

Well I'm gay so sorry for answering your thread, but one of my best friends is a straight male, and he knows about my sexuality, so I'll tell you about that. Me telling him about my homosexuality didn't change my relationship with him at all, I feel as if its actually brought us a bit closer actually. It was hard for me to get it off my chest and tell him, but once the initial conversation was over things were the same as ever. I've felt more open with him ever since I told him, and I've actually been able to share things with him about some feelings I have (not for him, another person), and speak about it openly. So his stance is that we were best friends all this time while I was homosexual, he just wasn't aware of it; now we're still best friends, and he is aware of it. Nothing has changed.

two of my best mates at uni are Gay (I'm straight). I met them in my classes and they are two of the nicest people I have ever met. I'm moving in with them in september (along with 2 other straight guys). We are all pretty open about our relationships in our friendship group and they offer a great deal of support! Many of the guys have found their extensive network of female friends also useful!
The best part is that going to gay bars is such a good night out!
For someone who hates the pretentiousness of nightclubs gay bars are the total opposite!

Well I'm gay and I have several straight guy friends. It's strictly a platonic relationship we have, and some of them even know what me and my "BF to be" have. They are cool with it and still offer support whenever I need it.

Well, I dont have a close gay guy friend, but I do have a Gay guy friend. I dont treat him any different than any of my other friends. I do have a really close bi friend, and we are really tight. I also have a gay brother. I love my brother to death and wont treat him any different because he is gay. Just because someone is gay doesnt mean Im going to treat them different.

Once i told my friends i was bi, it brought us closer

this helped a lot because I've really been trying to come out to my straight best friend but I can't seem to bring myself to do it without getting worried, so thanks.

Hey, just like Mike - I'm sorry for answering your thread since I am Gay!

Three of my best friends are straight - It was hard telling them that I was Gay and I blurted it out at a sleepover I wasn't sure if they believed me so I explained and talked to them about it and they couldn't care less...They're the kind of open people that would make out with me and stuff when they're drunk and spoon etc.

They're awesome and since I came out I'm able to talk about everything to them :)

I dont have a close gay friend but i have a couple of gay guy friends

[Aiden247]

Most of my friends are straight, but we all have the same interests. So me being gay doesn't really make me different in any sense, except for the fact that I am. Relationships are platonic, but of course some are cute... Haha

I am not out yet officially ( I didn't know there was an official way, but that's what I wrote... Anyway...) , I have told my friends directly & indirectly.
