Whatever you want, but I'd go with, "You're my friend: gay or straight. It's cool with me." Then act accordingly-- it works like a charm.

As in every other moral question, you have to decide for yourself. I mean, are you going to let a thing as petty as that sparate you from your friend? I am bi, and when I told my friends they where cool with it, but it was kinda uncomfortable. He is probably kinda worried that you won't accept him, and the best thing to do is to stand by him. He might get some critisism (I suck at spelling, alright???) and it would be great if you where there. Of course you are surprised. That is expected. But he is your friend, and you need to be there for him.
Homo/bi/trans-sexual people are people to. Your friend is the same person that he always was, he just realized something about himself! I hope this makes sense.......Don't listen to those religiouse freaks, not all christians are like that. Only the ones who don't fully understand the underlying basis of their, and many others, religion. That underlying message is LOVE, PEACE, UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE!!!!

You can tell him you are surprised and would like to talk more about it. He might know as well that it was something you didn't know, and probably he think it's OK to discuss things.
But if you're a good friend, tell him it's OK. This is a big deal for him and he needs a lot of support. Don't abandon him for the sake of it. It would be like him pushing you away for not liking your eye-colour. And that would be a stupid thing to do, wouldn't it?

If you two are truly friends then there is nothing
to say, as his preference of sex partner should
not bother you, and you can tell him that. Today
too many people do not want to accept changes
and in this world changes continue to occur.
There are too many shortages of true friends
so lets keep the one that we do have so that
at least that tradition will not fade away.

I think it is up to you however you have been friends with this person for how long. Does your friends sexual orintation matter that much to why you guys are friends. I think you should stay friends and be open about it. If it is that much a deal to you then tell your friend you will be there for them but you dont want to hear the details of things.

He care what you think means that he really cherish you as a friend.You should treat him the same way too.Straight or gay doesn't change a person's personality,can't blame you for being suprise but............try to take it in nice way by not saying words that will hurt him and ruin the relationship

let the surprise wear off and then tell your friend that you are friends no matter what sexuality should not matter if you are a true friend

Give him your support. Listen to what he has to say, how he feels, what his worries are etc.
Be there for him. And be honest. If it confuses you, tell him that as well.
If you both can be open, honest and supportive, that shows you are true friends.

If he is your friend the fact that he is gay should have no affect on your friendship. Tell him you are still his friend and still support him
