A friend of mine said he cherishes my friendship with him. Does this make him gay?

I didn't say I thought it was weird, stop reading things into it that aren't there. This person IS my best friend, but I just wanted to know if that made him gay or not. And as for the fear of homosexuals? I have friends who are gay and that is fine. It isn't about a persons sexuallity anyway, it's about being a friend.

No, a close friendship between males does not constitute homosexualtiy... It is a sexual attraction that does that. It simply means that you are a very good friend to him and he wants you to know that.

He cherishes your friendship, not your body. If he doesn't want your body and only wants your friendship, there's no sex there, he's not gay. Men can like men as friends and not want anything more than to spend time together. Get past this fear of homosexuality. It ruins too many friendships. You need male friends just as much as you need girlfriends. Be thankful that someone really likes you for who you are.

It is very normal for a male of any sexual orientation to cherish his friendships with other men. They don't always say so, and most of the time don't say so outright, but they often feel that way towards another man.
If one starts denying himself friendships with other men based solely on how they express their friendship towards him, his satisfaction with life will most assuredly be lessened.
Someone is gay if they are sexually attracted solely to other men and not women. Telling a male friend he cherishes their friendship does not make him gay, straight, or bisexual -- it just makes him a very truthful man who expresses himself well with words.

You mean ANY type of friendship with another man constitutes homosexuality?
No, it i doesn't. And neither does sitting close to a man, talking or whispering to another man, or touching another man, or sacrificing ones life for another man constitute homosexuality.
And for some reason I am thinking of Christ and his 12 male Apostles. Don't think Christ was a homosexual, although he did cherish his male friendships, sit close to them, touched them, and even sacrificed himself. And was even in loincloth in public on at least two occasions.

course he's not gay. Has he ever tried to touch or kiss you? No, I expect not.
My eldest son's mate got married last Saturday, and they've been mates since 9yrs old (almost 26 now) and they love each other like brothers. At the wedding reception, the 2 of them, my other son, and various male friends of them all, all had a hug, shook hands, danced, had a few beers, etc., NONE of them are homosexual, but decent, lovely lads who have stayed true and loyal friends.

No. Men can also have close friendships and brotherhood towards other men without it being a gay issue.
It's sort of a brotherly affection and the chances are excellent that he's not secretly in love with you.

it extremely is known, yet despite you do do now stay conscious with everybody else, you will in basic terms be hurting your newborn and him, and that's the final element you may desire to do. try roll enjoying including your fiance, you do no longer could desire to assert something to him, and while the lights furniture are off, you are able to fantasize that he's somebody else, you would be shifting into it extra, and he will like that. i will tell my fiance that i desire him to pretend he's a physician, or a school instructor, and he does it, and it is so warm.

What you are saying is almost insane.
There are friends who would give their lives for each other. I have such friends and they are not gay.
Your friend only cherishes your friendship and you think that even that is weird.
The truth is that it is really really sad.
