a have a male friend who is very masculine and does lots of masculine stuff. when we graduated in college he had his first girlfriend. according to the girl my friend is very loving and protected her in every way. after two years i was just shocked when i knew that they had separated ways.we became neighbors and only to find out that he has someone living with him in his house. at first i thought it was a girl but to my shock he was living with a gay. i don't know how to react.i don't want to say and do something that can hurt him. i don't like to be the villain in his life but i just can't understand it. i see that they're happy so i decided that i will just leave them alone. he confirmed that he's in love with that other guy and he considered him as his new significant other. what's your side on this matter?

hey, Don't worry this is a common thing in today's life. So, if your friend loves & satisfied you than no problem either he loves other persons except you.

yes, the best thing that i would do is to support him and be with him no matter what.anyways, relationships come and go and i don't want ours to be the latter. thanks for responding.

People don't have any control over who they fall in love with, first of all. Secondly, there really isn't anything wrong with homosexuality. I think the world has evolved and progressed enough that we should be able to just accept and appreciate everyone for who they are. Plus, this guy is your friend, and if his friendship is important to you then you should just accept his relationship and support him in any way that you can.

If You still want to be there for him as a friend even after this revelation,if it hasn't changed your perception of him as a Person,There's nothing more you need to say..People's relationships change as time goes on..maybe not always from being perceived as straight to coming out as Gay,admittedly,but a friend who could adjust and accept it would be worth having,IMO..

I wouldn't mind one bit. That is his decision, that's where he's happy. I also knew someone like your friend. He used to have a really pretty girlfriend, and all of his exes were gorgeous as well. That's no wonder coz he's cute. Going back, after a string of girlfriends, I was surprised to know that he began a relationship with another guy. You know what, until today they're together and happy, and I have no problem with that. As a friend, I think the least you can do is be happy for him. I know it's quite a shock for many conservative people, but as time passes by you'll accept that it's the reality. Eventually when the shock wears off, you can ask your friend how he came up with that life-changing decision. I'm pretty sure he'll welcome your query.

I think it is his life and he has the very right to decide what is good or bad for him.I know being a friend ,you are concerned about him but i hope he will part his ways with that gay.But do not try to indulge yourself in their relationship.That is just a humble advice.

Ok, you can all hate me now. It is not normal because it is different to the norm and until the statistics level with homosexuals being more or less equal to heterosexuals in numbers, then it will remain so. However, this does not mean that anybody should get silly about it because it's just an alternative way of life that I am not offended by. Well, actually, there are some aspects of male homosexuality that disturbs me regarding a practice I find disturbing even amongst hetersexuals. I guess that I do not need to spell it out for you. Of course, being a hot blooded male, I find the thought of lesbians less disturbing. I'm not sure why! Summary: Normality is derived from the concept of not straying significantly from 'average' behaviour. 'Average' being a mathmatical concept roughly meaning that a particular number, behaviour, condition etc is most common. If it is not 'normal' then it means that it is not usual behaviour and therefore 'unusual'. SO accept it my gay friends you are wonderfully 'abnormal' 'unusual' and 'uncommon'. SO ENJOY IT.

Well I had a gay friend and it didnt bother me never even thought about him being gay or cared. If hes in love with another gay guy then help him try to get him what else can you do. And women do this to after they have a bad break up some times they go the other way and become lesbians.

I guess that choice of having a gay as his partner is his to do. We are third parties and should keep our principles, viewpoints and values to ourselves.Many people have different life-styles. It is a democratic country,as consenting adults, they may do as they please as long as the law allows it or they 'close an eye' to such relationship. I am a pacifist and I would not allow my value systems to get the better of me. I will definitely not interfere in some-one else's private affairs.
