I don't have a problem with gay/bi people. I just don't want to ever become one. My friends practically hate me now. They asked wat my opinion was on gay/bi people. Don't u think I have a right to say that I'm not going to become one? I never said I disliked the people. I just said I won't follow their lifestyle. I don't think they should hate me that's all.

I'm 17, and thanx everyone who supports me. I guess ur right hate is a harsh word, maybe not hate, but this is wat they did all week long. It happened last fridday. : They ignored me everytime i tried to explain myself. I tried to see if they forgot about it and i said "Watsup" They just gave me dirty looks and walked on.

Saying how u feel isn't wrong... as long as ur not saying prejudice things and talking about how u want to kill someone... I feel the same way that u do...
But what made u feel like u needed to express that? I don't imagine there ever being a situation in which u would need to say something like... "I don't ever wanna be gay" lol... it just sounds funny to me. The next time someone asks u ur opinion on gay/bi people, just say "i don't have a problem with em" and the conversation is over... saying that u don't want to be one is unnecessary information. Now if someone asks u right out "do you think you could ever be gay?" and you say "no" and they get offended... well that's their problem.
BTW... Being TOLERANT of other peoples opinions and beliefs doesn't mean u need to never express your own.
Have a nice weekend!

More power to you! You stuck up for yourself and your opinion and I applaud yo for that. Most people won't speak their minds because they are afraid of the backlash from 'friends' as well as enemies. so what if you don't want to be gay/bi. You have a right to your opinion and yes your friends do as well. Tell them that there will be times that you all won't agree on everything and that is ok, but if you want to stay friends then you accept each others differences and opinions and if they can't or don't want to then there's the door. You may have to find other friends if they don't accept you for you.
I commend your efforts and your strength and I also think your friends are idiots because they asked you how you felt. What did they expect you to say. Don't ever back down from your beliefs, values. They make you who you are ok? Good luck with this problem.

Well its ok, i guess it is just your opinion i think they took it the wrong way. Just tell them that being gay/bi is not who you are. Say something like i'm ____ and thats who i am. If they are mad for some reason you can't do anything about it, so my guess is to let it go and walk away from it and tell them to get real. It helps kinda... Well i hope this helps you a little. =D

You have every right to your own opinion and personally, your friends should respect that. After all, who else but with your friends, are we allowed to be ourselves. I think, however, you do not have to worry about becoming one unless that is something you want to do. I know that many say this is something from birth, not something they themselves chose, but it is my belief that it is a sexual preference, not really a "gender." Of course, that is another topic, altogether. Nonetheless, your friends should not hate you. I'm sure they are just concerned more so that you are accepting of gay/bi people.

They are asking what you think of gay/bi, not whether or not you are one. The next time they ask you, tell that you don't have anything against gay/bi. Maybe one or more of your friends is trying to tell you that they are and want to see how you react before they come out. Don't think that they are trying to turn you into one.

they shouldn't hate you; it's not like you started calling gay people all these names. i don't agree with that lifestyle either, and if someone wants to hate someone else for saying that, then maybe they support the lifestyle

Your entitled to your opinion. I have nothing against them either, but I do think they are a little melodramatic sometimes. I am not the judge. They are probably just confused as we all are from time to time.

Well if that is all you said and that is the way you said it then no they should not be mad about it, and YES you are entitled to your own opinion and I feel very strongly that people be honest and not afraid to voice their opinion.
