I think its just the old stereotypes....eg. Gay men tend to be effeminate & lesbians tend to be overly boyish so as far as friendships go-it dont mesh well together & of course they wouldnt be associating on any other kinda level....As a dyke most of my mates are straight guys...

Most people do not feel much of a connection with the opposite sex. Of course heterosexuals do need to maintain affiliation with the opposite sex for mating purposes, which is in many cases the only reason they associate if you get at the core of it. Obviously homosexuals don't need that either, so they are free to live primarily in the company of the one sex they relate to the most. Don't mean to offend with generalizations but many lesbians are rather butch and idolize the masculine/aggressive ideal, hence they seem almost to look down upon men who in their eyes fail to uphold that ideal, that is homosexual men (who, again with generalizing, are often rather effeminate).

We do for pride and for other mutual interest things, like political functions and such, but socially, not so much at all (though in smaller towns with one gay bar they do), I think it's because we want to be around men since that's what we want and feel comfortable with and the same, but for women on the girls' side.

I'm a female to male transsexual (former butch lesbian if you wanna call me that) and i had a gay male roommate. He brought his little gay guy buddies over all the time. I got along with most of them ok.
I just got annoyed with my roommate because once he came out, he REALLY came out, and got a little too stereotypical gay male for me. All he would talk about is c0ck and getting laid and penises. As someone who's not into that sort of thing, it got old REAL quick for me.
But in general, as long as a gay guy doesn't annoy me anymore than anyone ELSE would, I'm fine with them. It's not about them being gay, it's about if they're a jerk or not.

My goodness Baron, what corner of the world do you live in? I have friends of all flavors. I will be going to my gay male friends' commitment ceremony this weekend. I'm going on vacation next month with my str8 female friend. I'm going out tonight after work with a very varied group of buddies comprised of all kinds of genders, orientations and races.

I have lesbian, gay men, and trans-gender friends and we all mix. I must confess my own bigotry here, I afraid I tend to find straight people a little boring in the main.

How would you know about this? This is a negative input again from Homophobic folks.
There are many gay man and lesbian women, that have these kinds of friendship . The gay community is as diverse as the Heterosexual world is.
We do have gay friends in our lesbian circles and visa versa.

Huh? Where did you get that idea?
Please don't generalize like that.
Some of my best friends in IRL are gay men.

What makes you think that they don't? one of my good friends is gay, he likes men. so what? He still respects me, he just isn't interested in my gender, and you know what else?
I feel perfectly safe around him, I know he won't put the moves on me or expect me to go to bed with him. perfectly safe.. not a problem..
