Many of us consider friends as someone essential to their life. They are the one you run to when you're down. They make your spirit lift when you want to give up. But what if they are not the straight type? Meaning, they are gays and lesbians? Is there any difference if that is the case? Well, in my opinion, it doesn't matter in what gender my friends belong. As long as he/she is there as a friend, I'm happy with that. Most of the times, their being different is what you like about them. The uniqueness of their personality is what catch my attention and start to have a link with them. I have gay friends. They are cheerful and always in high energy. In some positive way, I am able to adopt to their characters and their characters somehow come into my circulation and lifestyle. There are many positive things that they contribute to my life. They taught me how to dress up, be updated in fashion, to be always cheerful and to be upbeat and be always equipped with ideas. Gay friends are the type who will never leave you even up to their last breath. I'm not blaming them beacuse they are that ordinary, simply because that doesn't lessen their essence as an individual. That is why they are called individual because they have their different characteristics that separate from the rest. I'm thankful that my gay friends are all intellectuals because they have taught me some things in life that I will be thanful for forever. The friendship i've shared with them really helped me a lot. How about you? Did you have some friends like mine? Share to me some experience with them.

Yes, I've got lots of gay friends when I was in school. Though I had stop seeing and communicating with them ever since I graduated since everyone of us had lead to different places. Like you, I love their upbeat attitude, their sense of humour and confidence. Sometimes I feel, they're more confident than those who are normal. They're also helpful and resourceful aside from their creativity aspect of course. I don't set standards for my friendship, as long as they are true and honest with their friendship, that's fine with me. But I didn't experience having a lesbian friend, I guess it's more taboo to have lesbian than gay friends before. Since lesbianity only arises recently. What do you think?

I agree with you. Lesbians only became so known just recently. But I can say that they can be considered good friends too. /i've got friends who have lesbian friends. And they say that they are as good as gays as well, though in different perspective. I think it is not on gender but on how he was developed as a person. Some says that lesbians are very affectionate and I believe that. Maybe most people misinterpret their sexuality but never question their credibility as a person.

Yes, I also notice they're more affectionate. I guess they're like that since they know more about women than men does.

I don't think there is any difference really. I have gay and straight friend and depending on my problem depends on who I go to.
