Dudes, what would you do if a guy you became good friends with over the past year, disclosed fears and problems too, travelling together, laughed with, suddenly came out as gay/bi to you? Friend seemed pretty straight, just was never out to others. Friend has never professed any interest in you. Would you feel betrayed that you two shared close emotional moments but your friend never told you? Would you start to hang out with them less? Would your relationship change? Would you start to treat him differently?
Were you close friends though or just 'work friends/colleagues'?
I'm a girl and straight. If I had a friend who told me she's lesbian, it's fine as long as she doesn't come on to me xD
Broadly speaking it is fine until...
I am gay men and came out to my friends recently. It only made my relationship with them stronger. Don't worry about your friend being interested in you. He only wants to share what's happening in his life with you.
Kind of a strange question, but I'm pleased to see these responses. It absolutely should not be a big deal. My friendship with someone is about what kind of person they are, not who they are attracted to. In fact it shows that your friend trusts and respects you enough to open up. That's awesome. I have a barber who I'm 99% sure is gay. He frequently talks about his roommate, in fact almost everything he talks about involves his roommate, what his roommate did recently, what he bought his roommate for Christmas. Ya know, I don't really care if he's straight or gay. But if he is gay, I wish he were comfortable enough to be out. It makes me sad to think that he has to hide who he is from his clients. If his roommate is his boyfriend, I'd rather he just say so.
Show some understanding. Nothing alarming there. She/He is just letting you know.
If you have a female friend (assuming you are a guy), were you afraid she might be interested in you? If no, it should be the same for gay friend
Not sure if that's a perfect comparison. You wouldn't go on a soli non work trip with your female friend, or disclose emotional stuff as a straight guy. Or maybe you would lol
Nah, I am a female and I have many male friends whom I am fine traveling together with. They also chatted about emotional stuff with me. I am pretty sure many of my female friends are the same.
'where is the camera?'
Nothing should change. Simple!
