Straight boys.. would you be friends with a gay guy?

[nish.dexter]

What if a friend comes out as gay ?

[Uranus]

I wouldn't have a problem if my friend was gay at al

[TheNytro]

Why would affect someone's sexuality in a friendship? I don't get it

[Bull]

No big deal. Sexual orientation should not be in the criteria for friendship. In fact I have a really good friend who is gay. He is fun, smart, and he does his sex thing apart from me.

[Hideous]

Uh, we're no different apart from straight people. Sexuality doesn't change the way I feel about a friend of mine.

[Excalibur]

Yes, definitely. It's just like being friends with a straight girl, you can definitely just be really good friends without her having romantic feelings for you, and especially if they know you're straight, they'll probably try to just be friends with you and not really have any feelings for you. I actually have several gay friends and I'm not dating any of them and they don't like me romantically or anything.

[Abhorrence]

I'm friends with people for their personalities, not whether they're gay/straight/bi/trans/whatever.

[nish.dexter]

I mean, would you behave differently around him.. I have seen my straight buds naked, and we all hang out shirtless and watch porn together. Can you do these things around a gay guy ?

[Vermilion]

I would have no problem at all even at school when a boy in my year came out as gay everyone in my year where acting differently to him I couldn't off cared less even in the changing rooms he would only get changed next to me cos I didn't care where others made such a big deal about him.

[Brightwolf]

It wouldn't matter to me. I actually have a friend who's gay (and apparently secretly likes me) but I still have out with him.

[Ivorystick]

Had a few gay friends, just like hanging with anyone else

[Snydergate]

I wouldn't mind at all, in fact I wish I had some gay friends to hang out with. Personally I wouldn't think of any of my friends differently if they came out as gay

[rks1]

well I'm straight and friends w/ straight girls so it's similar to that. just because they are attracted to your gender doesn't mean they are going to treat you that way. even a gay guy can be just friends with another gay guy so what's the real difference? that's what I think. it really is okay.

[Nathanw23415]

I have gay friends and straight friends it doesn't really make a difference

[Jackrabbit7]

Yea I'm still friends with a guy who came out during sophomore year. Its just how they handle it and they type of person you are. Right now this guy is constantly hitting on me and its really annoying so that's on him. If you were friends before the guy came out, he was gay then too. If nothing changes, your friendships shouldn't change.

[Sabercat]

Why does it matter if they are gay or bi? A friend is a friend.

[TheFSM]

I already have gay friends so...
Yeahp

[Canadian Dream]

I don't believe that someone being gay affects their personality in any bad way. It doesn't matter who they are attracted to, to me that doesn't matter within a friendship.

[Luminous]

Puberty for Boys :arrow: Teen Sexuality and Gender

[mattsmith48]

Wouldnt mind

[Melodic]

I'm not a boy, but if a guy or girl friend came out as gay, I'd be friends with them. You love who you love

[Karkat]

I'm like the opposite that this thread is asking for in every conceivable way, but hello

It's nice to see such a positive, accepting attitude

Coming out is a hard thing, and it's nice to know that there are some real people out there.

[Connor.]

I've had quite a few friends come out as gay, and to be honest, it doesn't change a thing. They are still the same friend that I had, and their sexual orientation doesn't affect my friendship. The whole point in being friends with them is because you like their personality, you get on with them and such...not just because of their sexuality.

[The Faulted]

I am gay, and like my three best friends are straight guys. Honestly it doesn't change a single thing about my relationship with them. They are actually reealllyy interested in the fact that I'm gay, it's kinda funny.

[hudson19]

Absolutely. Who gives a flying fuck?

[Ben101]

Personally wouldnt bother me, however, if I came out as bi, probably would bother 1 or 2 of my friends.

[boytoynamedtroy]

What if a friend comes out as gay ?

I'm not straight, but I know what it's like to be straight, because I believe I was once that way. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with a friend coming out to you. That's a pretty nice feeling, I guess, since he's confiding in you more than he's ever confiding in anyone else. It means he trusts you, and it would be really great for him if you accept him for who he is. And let's say your gay friend admits he likes you, there's nothing wrong with that. If you don't like him the same way, then it's okay. It's just like if a girl tells you she likes you, but you don't feel the same. Treat him the same, so he wouldn't feel so estranged.

[benj2]

don't know if I am gay or bi yet

[CharlieHorse]

most of my friends are gay

[Joerg93]

And what if a friend is not gay?

[PinkFloyd]

My little brother is gay and 2 of my friends are gay. a few others are a mix of Pan and bi. Needless to say, sexuality doesn't play a role in who I'm friends with.

[TredOut]

Everything would stay the same...

[WengMan3397]

That was what I was insinuating with my comment btw....

The fact is who you sleep with or fall in love with is such a small part of who you are.

[Trait]

I would not care.

[Jkat547]

My friend just came out to me and I still love her as I did before. She was my best friend and will always be my best friend!

[Seth Green]

Well all my friends are straight dudes and they seem pretty down with it. If some one stops being your friend because your a certain sexual orientation they were never really your friend.

[basketball33]

I wouldn't mind at all honestly. I mean as long as they are a true friend to me I'll continue to be the best friend I can be to them. So yeah, I wouldn't care at all.

[jonosbro]

I would feel uncomfortable around him, but help him if he needs help because at the bottom line he is a human being and needs to know he's cared about. I would, however, consider distancing my relationship from him.

[ROBOTDUDE16]

I wouldn't mind because some of my friends are bi and it wouldn't matter to me if my freinds would like the same sex as them because a freind is a freind they are their when tou need them through all the things in your life

[Baileyy]

I got no issues.

[Mil1dreded]

I have a couple of gay friends ,it's about what someone is like as a person rather than sexual orientation

[GoGoDiego]

Homo or straight, they are all persons. That thing is no big big deal.

[Cognizant]

I don't judge people based off their sexual orientation, I judge them based on their personality.

For example, I wouldn't find someone annoying because they're gay. I'd find them annoying if they acted like "I'm gay, so therefore I am the queen of the world."

[Saint of Sinners]

I'm totally cool with it. Nothing wrong with that.

[Pitsirikos]

Sexual orientation can't effect my friendship with a close friend.

[pbish-and-j]

Duh I would

[Zerep2016]

Sure

[Bull]

Why not?

[Meh Guy]

Well before I figured I was bi, I had many friends come out to me, I would never disown/unfriend someone based on their sexuality or race or anything. Just like I have many straight friends now, I've come out to a few of them over the years and they didn't mind.

[mychalo]

Would still be friends

[Nico11]

Sure. What's the issue?

[crazyBoyjJ]

If they act all girly its goanna freak me out, so that's the only way I won't be comfortable with it

[Wafflenado]

I have a few straight friends, and none of them have had a problem with it

[KingLiam]

It's not like gays are mutants. They are just like everyone else when it comes to friendship so why should their sexuality effect your friendship

[vinniee]

I wouldnt care at all... I am not friends with someone because of what they prefer in the bedroom ( or swimming pool or where ever ) Im friends with them because i enjoy their company and because i like them.

[pacho3383]

I have one friend who is gay and i am completely fine with that

[Abhorrence]
