i am writing this discussion because i really need your suggestion, one of my friend confessed us that he is a gay, we are really in a shock because we are friends since childhood, In my country being gay is not a easy thing to describe, but we like him very much as we like other friends. Some friends are very rude to him and some friends are making fun of him and abusing. people keeping distance from him and he is also keeping distance from us. he is going through very hard times so me and other friends decided to keep the things same as before, but every day things are getting worst, its not in our control but we don't want to loose our bestie please tell me what to do?

How are things getting worse you need to explain what is happening or people can't really help. In the US this isn't an issue people are free to be able to tell each other if they are gay or not. It doesn't bother me doesn't mean I won't like you or not. If I liked you before my feelings won't change and it wouldn't change how I see them. Free to love who you love.

@sunny2211 he's a normal person those who are rude and treat him differently are not true friends then. We cannot control those! In the us gay is very common! Either people will accept it or not.

As long as he would not try to pick me up, it would not make any difference for me : a friend is a friend. Besides, discriminating someone because he/she is gay is a criminal offense in my country : everybody is free to have the life he/she wants.

@sunny2211 It is not a matter of being developed or less developed, but of mentalities. People abusing this guy should understand that they have to accept others differences. They are bullies.

It took a lot of courage for him to come out and tell you and his other friends. I think he needs to be respected for that. It only shows ignorance on the part of the ones who are shunning him and being mean.

Treat him exactly the way you did before he told you he was gay. It's pretty simple.

There is totally wrong with someone being gay.They are a person, a human being first, what they decide to do behind closed doors with thier love life should not be anyones business.Just my opinion

@sunny2211 should tell those friends what kind of friend are you? He needs you in the time like this as he's brave to come out of the closet. But that just shows which are the true friends.

Pretty simple ... Accept him as your friend ... Be with him as you used to be ... A persons gender cannot tell you how good he is ... Soo accept him :)

I would totally understand if they are your friend, friends should understand the situation. Tell them to ignore the people that are being rude! It is okay we are all here on this Earth Gay or Not!! He should just ignore them and hopefully they will eventually leave him alone. That is just what I think hope it gets better for him. Have a great day.
