Would You Be Ok With Having a Close Gay Friend (of oposite gender)?

[bannacookies]

Yes

No

[zeitgeist057]

I’m totally OK with it, but oddly I don’t really have that. I’m not trying to claim on Mr. super perfect “I don’t see sexuality “but I honestly have a hard time remembering which of my friends are straight and gay, but it doesn’t pop up to me that I have any really close gay friends at all. Probably one of my closest for example is my sister’s roommate and I love him but we don’t hang out outside of when I visit my sister or he comes for Thanksgiving (with my sister). I also had a gay female roomie and her and her girlfriend are both awesome and we hang out here and there but we aren’t super close.
again, I’d be open to it but it doesn’t seem like it happens naturally

As long as we have mutual respect for each others sexual orientation, I have no problem with it. Obviously, if that boundary is breached, then the foundation of our friendship must be re-evaluated.

My wife has a "handywoman" whom I will call "Jane" whom my wife pays $15/hour for all sorts of help with odd jobs around our home. She's rather butch and over here a lot - a few times a month at least.

Last week, "Jane" matter-of-factly mentioned to my wife that she was a lesbian. My wife later told me what "Jane" said. I said to my wife "That doesn't surprise me. She must know we are cool about it. If she wonders about me being uptight about it, please let her know I am cool with it."

So, I wouldn't say "Jane" is a close friend to me, but she's a nice friend - certainly to my wife - and I like her and have no problem with her.

I have a couple of friends that are LGBTetcétera, and acquaintances as well...

I never saw it as a matter of "okay or not okay" to me is just absolutely normal, it's just how I grew up, knowing that things are not as simple as we sometimes want to make it seem... also knowing that's absolutely fine... love is love

[DizzyDesii]

I dont care if the person is gay but i do care if theyre flamboyant. I dont mind hanging around someone gay as long as they act like what they're born as And dont use being gay as their absolute identity. I dont like when a guy talks all girly or is like “Biish yasss”. Like stop overreacting

I had a close friend that came out to me when we were 18 or 19. It was pretty freaky but after I wrapped my head around it we still hung out. After a while he started hanging with a different crowd and we drifted apart, He died 8 years ago of cancer.

I’ve actually have had a few good friends that were lesbians even though 1 I don’t think was sure about her sexuality because she started to crush on me. It caused problems with her girlfriend and we drifted apart she was cool and even though it’s been a long time I would still call her a friend but wouldn’t want to cause her any problems

[ChrisMaster69]

I’ve got very close gay friends of both genders.

not sure of the relevance of sexuality or gender on friendship tbh.

[Stoner710]

Had many close friends who were gay and I’m a Trump guy idc do what you want. Don’t hit on me if your a guy that’s all I ask

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I have several.

I mean, I'm bi myself, so...

[zzombie]

Yeah... what does someone else's sexuality have to do with me? Their sexuality is 100% irrelevant to our friendship.

[douride2]

I have a gay friend of the opposite gender. It has never been a problem.

[Lionman95]

Yes I´d actually like that because I feel like that would help me understand females and their needs better.

[Jamie05rhs]

I would love to be personal friends with Wanda Sykes.

[SmokinAces2000]

I have many close friends that are gay, guys and girls

[t-8900]

One of my friends is a homosexual man and two are trans men.

[GhostMochi]

Hell yeah, we could paint our nails and do our hair. That'd be pretty cool. :)

[bannacookies]

My gay guy friends are not into getting their nails painted.

[Inexpensivefurniture]

None of my friends are straight

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, that would be fine with me

[FinalFantasyBro]

Sure I actually support gay rights

[es20490446e]

No problem having a gay friend of any gender.

[es20490446e]

It's just the same as being friends with a woman.

[NightOwl8801]

Yes , I have a couple of lesbian friends
