Is it normal for a guy to cry when he's asked if he is gay?

I became friend with a guy just last week. Then two days later we became closer and treated each other as best friends, though we haven't met and haven't seen each other. Days later we became very much closer. When I called him on the phone, I was surprised with his voice, something like as if he was gay. Then few days later, I asked him if he was gay. After I said that, he ended my phone call and when I called again, it was his younger brother who answered it. He said that his brother was in his room, crying, and got very angry with me because of what I said to him.
Is it normal for him to cry, saying that it is not true that he is gay?

    My guess is that it's a very sensitive subject for him because he's been bullied about his "mannerisms" before. He's not gay and doesn't want to be seen as gay, but his "mannerisms" continue to haunt him.

    Maybe as a friend you can help him realize that he needs to accept himself for who he is, and there's nothing wrong with being gay or straight, and he shouldn't feel so embarrassed that you asked him this.

    But this is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people, so I would advise you not to ask about it anymore. Eventually if they're gay they'll let you know in their own way. Kind of like how you shouldn't ever ask a girl if she's pregnant. Because if she's not then you're basically calling her fat.

    Maybe he really is gay but wanted ot be the one to tell or maybe he considers it offensive to be called gay. Anyway you should call and tell him you're sorry that you made him sad.

    This is quite normal, assuming the guy has a bit of a high-pitch voice and is NOT gay. I know someone like this from high school. He likes girls but his voice is probably why he never had a girlfriend. People just assume he's gay because of his voice, but he really isn't. No offense to you, but people can really be offended if you ask them if they're gay, especially if they've never hooked up with the opposite sex before. I sure would. As long as you apologize in person and pat him on the back, he should forgive you.

    I already talked with him the next day (the day after that day) on the phone and I said sorry. He said he don't want to hear about it again and accepted my apology. I happened to look at his facebook timeline and found out that he had liked one indie film about gays. I asked him why he liked that facebook page but he said there is none. I decided to be silent on that matter.

    Then just last friday, we talked about ourselves. I asked him does he ever had an experience with sex. he said yes, 1 to a gay and 2 to women. And he also said he often watch porns. He said he really loves watching especially those "man to man sex." I was surprised to hear he really watches gay porns. Then I also shared what I do like masturbating, etc. He said he often do that also. Then he asked me how many inches is my penis. So I told him the answer.

    We were okay last friday, happily sharing our experiences and funny things we do, but the thought was left on my mind:

    "IIN for guys to watch gay porns?"

    and

    "IIN for a guy to ask how long (in inches) is his best friend's dick?"

    I doubted him a little still if he is really straight, bi or gay. Because I think he is telling the truth when he said he had an experience already with sex with women.

    BTW, he is 18 years old.

    Maybe he is gay (and that is normal). He may feel extremely pressured by our terribly sick society to deny his nature. Try to talk with him, he sure needs friends to converse with.

    He's in denial.
