What would you do if you found out that you friend is gay?

I have friends that are already gay, and I do not see a problem with that, these people are some of the nicest I know, so it makes no difference to me. If a friend that I thought was straight comes out and tells me that they are gay I will not think any different about them, I would congratulate them for their courage to tell others about something like that, which isn't accepted by everyone. Gay people already have enough judgment on them, why put them through more of it, you should be a friend to them no matter what and accept them the same way as you did when you thought that they were straight. It should really not make a difference to people, though there are quite a few that are closed-minded when it comes to these matters, or just shallow.

For me, it should not make a difference, but wait, maybe on some things. My care and concern will remain the same. But knowing that he's gay, I could not help but be more careful he will not take things as if I am into man-to-man relationship. I could still share jokes with my gay friend but no more offensive homophobic jokes this time. If he's not that sensitive, then I need not worry about this part. And as a friend, I may from time to time, remind him to remain as respectable as he is. It's not that he might do something stupid but I know how some people do not know how to react to gays and lesbians.

This actually happened to us. We are 3 in a group and this friend of ours named "M", has always been boyish. I am boyish myself, but we felt something different about her. She's been our friend since elementary days. We noticed that she was a tad bit too close with this girl and they lived together though the girl has a son. Later on over the phone, she told me she had something to tell me. So finally she admitted she was gay and was scared that we wouldn't accept her. I laughed that off and told her I saw it coming. I told her we were just waiting for her to admit it herself because she might not have been ready yet to tell us. She asked if it made a difference. I told it didn't. We love here for who she is not WHAT she is. It's not her fault she became gay or if she chose to be gay because she's comfortable with that. As her friends, we should accept and support her or at least be there for her and be happy for her.
