I just lost my friend because of my sexual orientation

[romes3]

One of my closest friends found out that I was bi today, because some girls were talking about it and was mad. He said a bunch of horrible things, and basically said that we couldn't be friends anymore. I understand why, I'm just upset because he told me a while ago that he doesn't mind being friends with people of different orientations; he just doesn't support it. It just sucks, but I can't be mad I guess, its his opinion....

You shouldn't associate yourself with anyone who doesn't support you. I'm sorry that happened, it sucks losing a friend. I think you should just move on, though -- no point in being sad over someone toxic.

Sorry that your friend left you, I know it's tough right now. I can say that maybe he just needs time to let it sink in and he just reacted wrong. Over time, he should accept it and things should be fine. True friends stick together and support each other no matter what. I wouldn't take it too personal or just assume he hates you now. I do understand how upsetting this is for you. I don't want you to blame yourself or anything. Hopefully you are able to find happiness with yourself and try not to let this worry you too much.

I'm sorry you lost a friend, but friends that basically tell you that you can't be friends anymore because you're bi aren't your true friends. Real friends accept you in anyway possible, and he obviously doesn't care enough for you so he isn't a friend. I know it SUCKS to lose a friend but you ( I'm sure ) are an awesome person no matter your sexual orientation, I'm bi and I'm out to all of my friends and they accept it, even my christian friends know it, they think its wrong in one sense but im not shunned for it and or critized and or anything like that. I hope you can get new friends who will be there for you and won't judge you. Good luck :)

Sucks u lost him, but if he couldn't accept ur sexuality then he wasn't a true friend in the first place I'm afraid.

Yea it sucks you lost him as a friend because of your sexual orientation!
Just remember, at least he's not there to insult you anymore. Don't be mad about it. Be glad you've dumped a friend that wasn't really your friend.

[SethfromMI]

maybe he just needs time. or maybe he is just a jerk, in which case he is not worth your time

[JamesSuperBoy]

I guess he could well be kinda confused about things maybe even his own feelings =

[RRay99]

Sorry to hear that. If he can't come to terms with it, it's better to walk away. It hurts now, but if he can't get over it, that's his problem.

I know that it sucks to lose a friend, trust me I understand. However it's pretty obvious that somebody who wouldn't want to be friends with you for your sexual orientation doesn't deserve your time.

Stay strong!

I wouldn't worry about it. People like that are a waste of space and he wasn't a true friend. I'm sorry about the situation I know how crappy u feel about it all but at the end of the day if he don't like u then why bother trying. Don't change who u are and don't let people bring u down life does that enough as it is

Well consider yourself lucky, your friend was a cunt.
