Would you befriend a gay guy?

Long ago I had a room mate for eleven years at boarding school. I was a regular straight guy with no gay tendencies. During my 10th year my best friend, my room mate, told me he liked guys. I felt betrayed, pissed, and beat the shit out of him. My friend was closeted and felt he trusted me enough to come out to. Even though i was privileged to be the one he selected to tell and I was a horrible fucking asshole and stupid harming him. We made up within a week and got back to being friends after I came to my senses but I learned a big life lesson - never ever judge a person based on their lifestyle or looks. take the time to get to know them. Long story short, after graduating I never saw my friend again and life sadly dished him nothing but tragedy after tragedy. We lost touch but I have always made it a point to talk to whoever sits next to me regardless if the queen or dustman, gay or straight, male or female. I learned my lesson and miss my friend. If I could find him, I’d give him a fucking big hug.

My sexuality now runs fluid bi (yeah you never know what life holds for you) but I definitely would not have any issue with anyone becoming my friend. Could care less about you sexuality and looks .just be nice.

Sorry maybe I shouldn’t have posted here since I’m not 100 straight. please no offense meant.
Wow sorry about your friend hope you find one day and you guys can talk thanks for share I know it painful but don’t be hard on yourself you were young the world was different and you are different now to .

I don't even view it as gay friends and straight friends, their just friends for me. I will say, I had connection with a guy that was gay, it was like a brotherhood. I never thought that would happen, but it did. It very much opened my mind. Not only do I welcome friendships with gay guys, I see myself having more guy friends that are gay than guys that are straight. Gay guys are open, free, and they actually wear their heart. I'm not this overtly masculine guy, I'm not an overtly feminine guy, I'm a mix of both and I lean on one more than the other depending on the situation. Just not the average straight guy, I'm the new masculinity straight guy, lol. I'm very much into fashion, I can't talk about fashion with straight guys. As you guys know, I wear crop tops, I wear pink, I'm very expressive with my fashion. I dress for me, and I always have to do this extra thinking when I know I'm going to be around straight guys. Outside of sports, woman (we don't talk about women the same), Anime, ect, I don't have anything in common with straight guys.

But amongst gay guys, I feel I can be all of myself. I don't have to compromise anything, I don't have to hide the fact that my favorite artist is Beyonce say and I hold her to the same importance in my life as I do Kobe Bryant and Bruce Lee. Gay guys have helped me feel comfortable in my own skin when I didn't feel attractive. They made sure I realized I was very attractive, whether friends or not, lol. So yeah, I definitely welcome gay friends.

No, this here is reflecting you growth. And you should be commended for sharing.

Sure I have gay friends, I haven't a problem with that. They know where I stand sexually and that's that, I've had some great times with gay friends.
 
I’ve had friends before that were openly gay and friends I found out after the fact that they were gay. Your race, sexual preference, religious beliefs or lack of and political affiliations don’t mean shit to me. How you treat me and how we get along is what is important. My brother and I are at opposite ends of religious beliefs and political views. We just agree to disagree and don’t discuss either. It would be pretty shallow of me to dislike someone just because their sexual preference is different than mine.
 
Personally, I think you should keep your bedroom activities to yourself. It's a rather gross topic of conversation. I have gay friends. We are just friends, and out of respect for me, they watch their language.

And out of respect for then you watch your language?
 
I worked with a guy once who was very cool with me until he found out I was gay and then he became a real son of a bitch with me so I do get this question some guys really do get stupid when they find out you're gay I should know I've been put through that

i know many gay people, none of them i consider my friends, my friends circle is quite small but anyway, i dont have any problem with other people's preferences and orientation. so lets say im into motorcycles and i meet a guy who also likes motorcycles and we get to hang out and ride and discover he is gay it wouldn't make a difference.
 
So you would also stay quiet about your love life to a gay guy?
Probably not. Maybe. I’m past the age of having a love life, as I’ve been married 25 years, so I don’t know.

On second thought, I probably wouldn’t talk about it because I’d assume he wouldn’t care to hear about it.
 
I can’t relate to it. It wouldn’t excite me or interest me very much.

We're different so. The experience of love and particularly unrequited love transcends gender. Maybe as you added in your last post you have lost a passion within yourself and nothing really excites you about love; certainly not a gay person's experiences. I cannot understand your point of view but that doesn't negate it. I'll respect it.

You know that gay and straight men arent that different. Only difference is that one likes men and one likes women.

I really don t see how someone would not mind if someone told him his wife made his favorite meal for him for valentine's day but he would mind if someone told him his husband made his favorite meal.
 
No problem.
Have very good gay mates..
Its lake having female friends.
You don't fuck everyone you interact with?
