Would leave a friend because they are gay ?

If you would even consider this then you are not a friend. Someones sexual proclivities shouldn't matter to you, especially in a friendship. Would your friend leave you because you are not gay?

I have many friends that are either/or.  They are still good people but have a difference on their sexual outlook.  If they are your friends that is all they have to be nothing more.  I had a male friend who I did not know was gay and when he told me after 5 years of friendship I was only upset because he didn't tell me.  I told him I still loved him the same and we were best friends for many more years after that.  Some people are very mean when it comes to that.

probably not.  Most gay men dont want to state their orientation because of fear.  Fear of hatred disrimmination and even being kicked out.

Yes, I have several gay friends, a few lesbian friends, and a couple of bisexual friends. Even though I'm straight, I get along great with them! \n\nSo, why do you ask?\nOhhh thanks for answering. I was thinking we were all going to get bashed for having gay friends. ;0)

What if you met someone, fell in love and then they said they were bi, would you leave??  no way....  If you really like this person and this person wants to hook up with someone and this doesn't bother you, have some fun!

its a different kind of relationship...friendships are wonderful with gay men but it will never be the same as a boyfriend

YES!!! I know a couple myself. Guys who do this are called "Down Low" guys. I would strongly urge you to warn your friends about  how rampant Aids and HiV are in this community. You guys may never know the full truth... but tell your friend to protect her heart and let him GO.

I say to each their own.I don't think that they're nasty and there's nothing wrong with being gay.People at a young age are discovering their sexuality and some are straight while others are gay.I have had gay friends before and I treated them equally as I did with my straight friends.As long as they don't go into detail about their sex life,that's fine.Some people prefer their own sex instead of the opposite.

No, but if he was, I wouldn't love him any less. He's still the same man that he's always been on the inside. Being gay and/or fat does not change a persons heart toward the people that they love. They are just like anyone else. It shouldn't make a difference. He is the only one who has to live his life, not anyone else, so why not just love and accept him the way he is? Even if my own daughter came home and said she was a lesbian tomorrow, I would say, "as long as you're happy, I'm happy."

If a friend stops talking to you because of your orientation, that person is not a friend.  You are what you are, and there are people out there who will love you no matter what.  Those people are out there, and if you decide to tell the world you are a #######, those people will appear in your life.

Yes, it depends more on the people involved rather than their respective genders. What would be any different about your boyfriend having a gay male friend or you having a lesbian friend? Real relationships are based on trust and center on more than sexual attraction.

My gay friends say that they knew they were different early on in their lives.  I don't think that they chose it.  I see they don't have the easiest life.  Why would you pick that?

You might feel like you're on a date, but that's just because you're straight.  He doesn't feel that way at all.  I had this one friend and I didn't think that I was leading her on or whatever and she KNEW I was gay, but she said that it was unfair of me to play with her like that and act like I was into her.  I wasn't GIVING her signals or anything though.  If he really wants you, let him come to you, you don't wanna lose a friendship just because you think you could convert him.  Things would just be WEIRD between the two of you.

Well, chances are that most people who love you already know, you just haven't confirmed it yet.  Stay calm and think good thoughts.  Being gay is not terrible, but some people may need time to accept it.  Try setting aside time, free from distractions, and tell the person.  If it is a friend and they react poorly, don't push it, let them figure it out.  Continue to be a good friend, but if they choose to not be  good friend, consider yourself lucky to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff so easily.  Your family will love and accept you- you are family.  It is better to be honest and true, living your life fully as a good person, that force yourself to live in fear, lying.

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)

I don't know,  abot two years ago, I came out to a friend of mine when I was really drunk.  I know that is not a excuse, but I really liked her and wanted to tell her.  When I told her she told me that she was also bi, and wanted to tell me for a long time but was afraid that I would not accept her.  Her reason that people think it is bad, because they have not tried it yet.
