i work with a gay guy and until recently i didn't treat him real good, talked about him bad behind his back, made some comments to him i shouldn't of, you know. but here lately my life got all crazy and i started talking to him and he has turned out to be really cool and supportive, but that don't mean i know a whole lot about those kinds of people. that's why i'm on here is to learn, and i can't learn anything if i don't ask, right?

at least he proved you wrong when he talked to you. that's more than i can say for you, judging by your postings.

Well, you know something already? The fact that you've trashed him how many times and, now that you are talking to him and find him really cool... after all the harm you've caused against him, and he was "forgiving" enough to befriend you, Can you come to admit that he really is the better man?
Anyway, as you've said you don't know much about Those Kinds of People, and you want to learn... Nothing wrong with that, but it's wrong when your questions are preset on being biased.
Cheers and Good luck in learning.

I am glad you are willing to step out of your own perception. And it shows a lot that you are willing to post an apology.
Maybe you could spend a little more time making sure your questions aren't offensive. Not only is that the kind thing to do to a group of people who are facing a lot of meanness from all directions, but you will probably get better, more informative answers.
Good luck with your new friend.

You are ONLY human and you were threatened by what he was.... And yes you did make a bad decision by hurting him...How can you expect someone to turn from sin and treat them like that...You have hurt your witness with him and others by being out of God's will.... But what is VERY important is you have admitted your fault... And so you have removed the pride from yourself..And that My Friend is a Wonderful thing..... Just remember my friend If you ever expect to bring anyone to God, you have to Live according to his will and be an example for all to see... You are in My Thoughts and Prayers..... You are a good person, but you worry too much about what others are thinking and NOT enough about what God is thinking of you...And his Vote is the ONLY one that matters!!!!!!!!!! God Bless

I am glad that your experiences with your coworker are opening your eyes and allowing you to treat all people better, regardless of their sexual orientation. Ask as many questions as you need to, just try to be more careful about how you word them, ok? This is an area in which a lot of people are touchy about things being politically correct.

Right. The Bible commands us to love the sinner, but hate the sin.Talking bad about this guy behind his back isn't loving the sinner, that's for sure, but neither are you expected to condone the sin of homosexuality. All of us are human and have fallen short of God's mark one way or another. One sin isn't worse than another in the eyes of God. This guy desperately needs your prayer and witness -both in word and in the way you live your life. I hope that helps.

Theres nothing to learn mate, just be urself, treat people how u wud treat anyone straight, they might talk , walk or even act different but that dont mean they shid be ur enemy, just be urself and talk how u wud do to anyone, but dnt say anyting anti-gay to them, well not to their face anyway, but other then that, there not great deal to learn, apart from get on with ur life and let others be and let urself be how u wud be with anyone.

I'm glad you found out that gay people are people first. I think you're going to be all right. Perhaps people can even learn from your learning!

Some people seem overly interested in gay culture – perhaps one needs to engage in more exotic endeavours.

Right! And what is your question? Let me add something to your comments. Don't judge the book by its cover.

As "they" say,"you can't judge a book by it's cover". My best friend is gay and he is HIV+ and I have another friend that wants nothing to do with him...I feel sorry for her. He is a great guy...
