Dear Get lost no chance,
Assuming you and your friend aren't intimately involved, or potently so... Why do you need to know? What do you plan to do with the information if you do find out? Will the answer really make or break your friendship? IF this friendship is so shallow as to hinge on who this person loves it it even a real friendship?
If in fact you two are intimately involved, or potently so then yes that information is important and hopefully you are close enough to ask and to be honest with the answers for each other.
Otherwise let it go and stop fretting. If he... or she, is gay and if and when he or she is ready, let him/her come out to you in there own time.
Hugs,
PennyAnn
And BTW How can I tell if you're strait?... It's really not my business is it?

I asked a similar question the other day and the majority of people on here told me it was wrong to ask, and told me why as well, for example you could offend the person if they're not, or if they are . So I wouldn't ask.
I would ask yourself first of all if it is really essential that you know for sure, and if it isn't leave it alone, and just accept that person for who they are no matter what their orientation. After all their sexuality is a personal matter and is only part of who they are, it doesn't define who they are.
If you do feel that you 'need' to know then I would create an environment where that person feels safe to tell you in their own time.

There is no way to know a homosexual from their behavior or the way they dress or any of those stereotypical cliches. I have a friend who is very feminine acting and at the same take is quite straight. I have another friend who is the perfect specimen of manhood yet he like guys.
If you need to know ask! but be prepared for the fall out of such a question.

invite him for a walk and point out girls that guys usually find attractive and say do u think shes hot on second thought if u does this he might think ur not straight so what u could do is if hes out of high school ask him who his first cursh was on,but if hes a homosexual he might lie.
keept in mind that the only way u can know for sure is if he tills u or if u askes him but if u askes him he might lie
The reason why i said out of high school was because some people dont have crushes in high school.

almost impossible to tell unless they tell you. The GLBT community is a true cross section of the entire community and is as diverse. Remember that stereotypes can just as likely backfire. I know a man that is very effeminate and yet is very str8. go figure. The only way to know is to you ask and remember if they feel threatened you still might not get an honest answer.

We all carry a pink gay membership card...be careful though lots of fake ones out there held by metrosexuals...only the true valid pink cards have a picture of Judy Garland on the front...and a scorecard on the back to keep track of your yearly successful straight to gay conversions.

It depends, is the person you know male or female? For males could be a strong sense in fashion and appearance, Lack of enthusiam for the opposite sex, flamboyancy in the way he walks, swivel of the hips, tight clothes especially in jean wear. High pitched voice. these are the strong and obvious signs. For some people it may not be so obvious and they are very good in hiding it.
FOr females it's a little more tougher to tell. They basically just hate men.

You can't. We're as normal as the next person on the street. The only way is if the person comes out to you.

By asking them if they are homosexual. Anything else would be nothing more than attempting to support stereotyping.
If you want to know, ask. If you don't want to do that, let it go.

If they are your same sex and are too friendly with you, or if not your sex very offish around the opposite sex. A lisp is not a trait or a funny walk.If they are your same sex and they can't stand your taste in a good looking mate, a possible closet case.
