If I have a friend that is gay what do I do?

Why do you have to do anything?  What does sexual orientation have to do with friendship.  If you care for this person as a friend, I don't see the problem.  I have gay friends, and it has never come between the friendship we share.  If it's something troublesome to you, talk it over with them, I'm sure they would appreciate your honesty.

DON'T ASK HIM. - he needs to find the right time to tell you. If you ask him he will be offended and he WILL dislike you. Turst me on this one. I'm bi and people use to ask me occasionally if I was gay, I wasn't and I hadn't come out and it used to really piss me off, even friends said it and I would hate them for saying it.

I understand your problem, my best friend is completly straight and I am bi, when i say he is straight he is. But like you I have  a crush on him and still do,we have and still do go place with each other but I try not to let my self get to close to him. Just be there for her when she needs you but don't cross the line again unless she cross first.

You don't.  If he is straight that means he is most likely not interested nd if you tell him you may just make him angry.  And they you, assuming you are friends, run the risk of losing his friendship.

Well, chances are that most people who love you already know, you just haven't confirmed it yet.  Stay calm and think good thoughts.  Being gay is not terrible, but some people may need time to accept it.  Try setting aside time, free from distractions, and tell the person.  If it is a friend and they react poorly, don't push it, let them figure it out.  Continue to be a good friend, but if they choose to not be  good friend, consider yourself lucky to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff so easily.  Your family will love and accept you- you are family.  It is better to be honest and true, living your life fully as a good person, that force yourself to live in fear, lying.

In this situation you should probably try spending some quality time with the person sooner or later it will become totally clear of their sexuality and you never know if they are they may come out and ask you first, either that or talk to a mutual friend if there is one available, and try to get the dish on what they are into, basically the same thing you would do if you were straight, nothing really has to be different. The worst that could happen is that he says no but it is best to be true to yourself :-))!!!

Well then don't judge him that's not your place. Make sure that he knows that you love him and support him. But you need to remember that it is not your place to judge God will do that when the time comes. If you love him just accept him and look at him as a person. Its not your job or right to try and change him and if you do really care about him then you can look past the fact that he is homosexual, and just look at him as a friend. There should be no need to try and make sure that he knows you don't agree with his lifestyle. I have homosexual friends and I don't agree with it but I'm not crappy enough to tell them that. It would hurt them, and I don't think thats really my place. As much as we say that is not judging it really is.

Bring the matter up gently, at a time when you two are alone so she won't feel uncomfortable speaking candidly.  Let her know from the beginning that no matter how she lives her life, you value her friendship and are not going to abandon her (as I HOPE you won't), but if it turns out that she is gay and has been making some advances, you need to tell her that, while you support her in what she thinks is the right way to live her life, you do not think that's the right choice for you.  Good luck, and remember friendships are REALLY important!

If your best friend tells you he is gay, you can still be best friends. However, you should tell him if you are not interested in that kind of relationship with him and if he can't seem to accept this then two things will most likely happen. Either you will work through this or the friendship may end. P.S. Try not to be judgemental of his situation, that's just my personal opinion.

i have straight friends that do that. if he just acts gay around your friends, its most likely to make them laugh. you said he doesn't act like that all the time, so he is most likely not gay. but whatever he is, as long as he is a great person then he should be worthy of friendship.

If your not gay, you simply tell him. He'll be hurt, but he should know the truth.

Strike up a conversation about someone who is gay and see what their stance is. Then tell them if it isn't too terrible.

You should try everything once.  You might like it.  And you're friend lost his self respect because he's obviously not comfortable with his sexuality.  Get over it, it won't make you gay.

Tough one!\nI am a gay man and have several really close female friends. Something seems to happen in these relationships that turns them into really special and close friendships. Everything is usually very fun and open. We can talk about anything and just be ourselves without having to try to impress eachother or hold back our innermost feelings and deepest secrets.\nI would try to control your feelings to the best of your ability. It is possible to remain as close as you are without this affecting your close relationship. But please be careful because it sounds to me like you are in the emotional danger zone.\nIf your friend is understanding- tell him how you feel. Let him know that you understand that he is gay and are not trying to change him but that you really admire his qualites. If he is such a loving person, he will be proud and honored that you think so highly of him. ( I know I would be!!)\nJust make sure that you realize the situation that you are in and that a sexual relationship between the two of you would be doomed from day 1.\nGood luck! :)

Get better friends, I don't mean that in a harsh way but if this friend  knows your brother is straight but keeps acting this way towards him it just seems to me that He is Not being a very good Friend at all Gay or Straight
