I did it because they were a part of my life that i didnt want to lose, and so i accepted him unconditionally.

Sorry, your question seems a little odd. You have this close friend...you find out he's gay...without him "confronting" you? A confrontation suggests conflict or anger, and why would he "confront" you about who he is? Do you like this guy...or possibly...love this guy? If so, then you should not have a problem with him now just because he's gay. Does he know you're OK with homosexuality? Or does he fear a "confrontation" if he tells you? Be kind to your friend. There are plenty of other people who won't be.

Same way you accept someone who is straight. Its your friend, he's a human being, and I guess if he thought it was important enough to you, he would have told you he was gay. Or maybe he's afraid to, because usually people who are "liberal" towards homosexuality and are still asking how to accept it, aren't as "liberal" as they seem to think they are.

You just do. There's nothing different about that person accept the fact that they prefer to be with someone of the same sex. This person is still your friend it might take a little getting used to, but believe me once you accept it you won't give it a second thought.

A number of years ago I found out that my best friend from high school is a lesbien. It really shocked me at first because I hadn't seen her much since high school. Anyway I just kept thinking of her as a friend and tried hard not to think about her sexual orientation.
Interestingly she and I have more in common that another school mate who is married and has a child close to my oldest sons age. She and I have drifted apart because we have nothing in common and I have more in common and more to talk about with my lesbien friend.
If you liked him before he was gay it shouldn't make any difference.

You accept him like he was before. Just because he has came out doesn't mean he is any less of your friend or anything. Treat him like you normally treated him. Just be aware that he may check out the same guys that you do. Its still no problem, just relax and don't make it a big deal, because if you make it something bigger than it really is he is going to feel weird and unsure of himself and things like that.

If any of my kids told me they were gay, I'd act the same as if they were straight. I'd look for someone to make them happy

just accept him as your best friend and his gay
don't change your feelings and treatment, because his gay. just act natural like before you know his gay.
it doesn't influence your relationship with him, he still your close friend, right?
if he doesn't tell you that his gay, maybe he have own reasonable/statement.
his still your close friend, wetter he doesn't tell you that he gay.just accept him who he is.
just tell him that you know that his gay (but you have to confirm first, that he really gay) and it's doesn't matter fro you. and it doesn't influence your relation
and if you curios why he doesn't tell you, just ask him. i think he will tell you the reason.
good luck hon

Accept them as a human being.

being gay isn't a discease, so what is the problem? it's not him that has the problem, but you. accept him as a person, not as being gay or straight, or green, or pink with purple spots. accept him as he is, not as others say he should be.
