Well I'm not a lesbian myself, nor do I have any friends that are. I do have a couple gay friends though. I believe that they have a right to choose what to do with their life. I don't think that they can help it if they like the same sex so that's fine. If i had a friend who turned lesbian I would still be friends with them because friendship is more important than sexual orientation. You can't get rid of a friend because of their life choices . If you do then you aren't truley their friend. It's like abandoning someone because they don't like the same things as you. Everyone is different thats what makes this world so beautiful

Well, I'm probably quite a bit older than most of the people who are responding, but my answer is Who Cares? I don't care what you do in your bedroom! And I don't spend time thinking about what you do in your bedroom. Further, I wouldn't be afraid that my female friend would hit on me. She knows I'm not a lesbian, for goodness sake!
Here's a fact: True friends are few and far between. You'd better hold on to and cherish the ones you have. If you're silly enough to throw away a true friend based on their love life, then you've no idea what real friendship is, and can't expect people to stand by YOUR side when you face some of your life's difficult crossroads, and there will be some, trust me on this.
And I don't believe that people who are gay or lesbian make a CHOICE to be that way. It's who they are. I don't judge them and I don't fear them. They are people, no more, no less.

Have a family member that is gay and have never looked differently at him It was something we always knew.It was not something that concerned us.Have a great friends both gay and lesbian and they do not push or attempt to make you uncomfortable. There are no reasons to treat them any different or to feel uncomfortable around friends. My friends and family have the most giving heart because of their sexuality not to spite it.This is not something they broadcast but nor do they hide themselves.They have to deal with a lot of ignorance and are more tolerant of others.They are also the best listeners and have a tranquility about them as they have become more hopeful and our family and friends accept their wishes.

I am a girl and I think that if a friend comes to me to tell me she is a lesbian there is nothing wrong with it. It is her thing. I accept my friends for who they are as people. Just because someone is gay it doesn't mean I'm going to stop liking them or anything. People should be who they are, and take pride in that. Some people have moral issues with it. I don't. Because someone's sexuality is only part of who they are. (Also I think girls are cute so I'd have defintely no issue with it. hehe)

If my friend came up to me and told me he was gay I would say,"ok, cool. What are we doing tonight?" Being Gay or being a Lesbian doesn't make who a person is. It is just a part of them. It's a chose they've made. Now to be completely honest, I don't think it's right in the eyes of God, BUT not everyone believes in God so....Here is why I don't think it's right with him, if he wanted it to be that way then men could have children with men and woman with woman. That way we wouldn't just die off. Now, that doesn't mean that I have anything against them, like I said, it's a chose they've made and if it makes them happy and they are my friend then I am happy for them.

Of course, I would accept that person, especially if we were friends before. Whether they're gay or not doesn't define who they are, and I wouldn't be much of a friend if my opinion of them changed due to something they have no control of.
A few years ago, I was going through something of an identity crisis and was questioning my own sexuality. I asked my mother if her opinion of me would change if it turned out that I was gay, and her reply was that, no, it wouldn't change, and I would remain her son, regardless of anything like that.
My philosophy is pretty much the same.

I would accept my friend. That does not mean I would agree with their lifestyle. I don't believe God created anyone to be gay. However, all are sinners, myself included, so who am I to reject someone because I don't agree with a lifestyle they feel they are unable to change? I would hope that my friendship would help the person to eventually be willing to seek help, but due to so much pressure already on the person, I would not add to that pressure.
I would be honest with my friend, though.

Come on dude we are in 2007....we have lesbians and gay in society...but yes if u ask me... I'll accept my friend...friendship has nothing to do with sexual orientation of an individual partner...its as simple as having a friend who masturbates...our friendship wont be harmed by her sexual desires but yes if i am respecting her way of life then she should also respect my integrity....she should not make a pass on me becoz that may harm our relation...and for that i'll definitely talk to her to fix our boundaries...afterall she is my friend yaar....

I'm not sure exactly what you want to know. if this person is your friend you already know if they are a girl or a boy and depends on how good of friends you are weather it affect if they are gay or not. if they just want to be friends that is fine with me but if they want more than a friend ship then i would tell them nicely that i am not interested in them like that.

If he continued to be a good friend I would accept it. However, with this disclosure might also come a change in behavior and this person may become less of a good friend, not due to being gay but due to his ebb and flow in life.
