Some people got the idea that I'm anti-gay or so it seems. I'm gay myself. lol

I'm a straight woman. I wouldn't do anything except support them. My friends are very important to me. I would actually be flattered that she respected and trusted me enough to tell me this.

I'm gay, so it wouldnt matter to me. I had a friend come out to me at college. I empathesized remembering what it was like for me to be in his spot. I supported him and showed him that it wouldnt matter with the friends that counted. i let him vent his struggle and helped him come up with ways to tell his family. I'm always glad when a str8 guy asks for advice on this sort of situation because then when they go back and talk to the friend they have a better understanding of what the friend is going through. Even if the situation isn't happening now, they'll know for future reference.

I'm gay and my bestfriend did tell me that he was gay at 15 in his own way that a guy liked him from my school. When we were kids under 11 years old he mention that we would live together when we got older and I told him. NO, I'll be living with my wife and kids. I'm the one who had a difficult time accepting and coming out as gay too. Never had a wife and kids.

I'm a guy.
I'd be shocked but I think I'd get over it. Probably would treat him different but would still be his friend. Have a few gay friends.
A mutual respect exists with them and we respect that we have differences. Its not a big deal.
Only time i had problem was with good friend who "accidentally" touched my a few too many times. I don't think unwanted physical attention is o.k. I stopped hanging out with him, not sure if he was gay. Later heard he was. Admitting he was gay verbally without trying to see if I was interested by "testing waters" I'd have had no problems with.
In short respect begets respect. For the record between a hetero guy and a hetero girl, you should determine the person's feelings verbally before trying to violate their physical space.

I'm a bi guy, and I would have no problem if my best friend told me he was gay. I probably would never consider dating him, because that would complicate things too much, but I would treat him as he treated me when I came out; like there was absolutely no difference between the situations before and after I came out (because there isn't)

Being gay myself I would hold no issue with it. If my straight female friend of 9 years came out as a lesbian I would be confused why she had not told me before seeing as we are close, but I would not hold it against her.

my 2 best friends told me they were str8. at first, i was shocked. i just couldn't figure out how a woman could be into c**k and hairy bodies and man smell. i couldn't talk to either of them for a while. then i got lonely. you know you start to miss the goofy inside jokes and the way they know what shoes you really want to wear... i told them that it would take some adjusting, but that i loved them and missed the friendships and that maybe they shouldn't bring their man friends around for awhile till i got used to the notion. gradually i got less and less offended by the offhanded remark about d**k and chest hair. now we're a happy troupe again! it took some time, but i'm glad they were patient with me and that i was secure enough with my own sexuality to accept and love this quality about them that is so foreign to me without adopting it for myself.

I'm Just a straight kid. But there is someone at my school, in my science classes that I talk to sometimes, I think he is gay but i'm not really sure. But I don't care. He is not my best friend though.

Question:
Would you shake your best friend off coz of their sexuality. Ie: they are gay/lesbian.
Accept them for what they are for. They are the same person no matter what.
Seems you are very uncomfortable to accept them now after they have told you that they are gay/lesbian and wanting out of this friendship.
PS: Nothing to do with one's sexuality giving you this piece of nugget advise.

Absolutely nothing would change by me...I'm bi and the first person I came out to (other than some past lovers) was my best friend. He said, "Ok, that's cool" and smiled....He's straight as an arrow and hasn't batted an eyelash since.
