One of my friends just told a few people that he is gay and now a lot of people know. I don't think it makes a difference to our friendship, but a few of his other friends have said that they don't want to hang out with him anymore. Is this normal?
I had a friend in high school that came out, my group of friends stopped hanging around him but I stuck by him so they abandoned me as well, calling us "lovers."the whole school thought I was gay and then one night he tried sleeping with me and I had had enough and I never spoke to him again. I felt he had betrayed the faith and loyalty I had shown him by not respecting my sexuality
Sadly yes it is normal.
I don't think you should be friends with the people that are no longer wanting to hang out with your gay friend.
Yes.
I'd be way to uncomfortable around a another guy if I'm a potential target.
Not to mention, that I wouldn't be able to have an honest friendship with someone whose lifestyle I don't approve of.
Ending the friendship is the best option for both parties.
Chances are that I'd become uncomfortable and end the friendship even before said (ex-)friend officially 'came out'.
Grow up, man. Just cause you're straight don't mean you hit on every chick that crosses your path. Jlt, gay guys don't hit on all guys.
Respect him as an individual. No guy would make you a potential target if they know you're straight.
I have no respect for those who choose to defy the natural order of life.
No! no it's not.
It's just the homos and and pro-gay activists that like to think it is and try to convert others to believe that too.
It's just a new trend devised by those who want to be different (hence: not normal).
That way of thinking is neither correct nor morally acceptable. It just came into existence because the gays can't stand the fact that they're wrong.
Sexes exist, and people are physically compatible with the OTHER sex ONLY. That's how NATURE is. (hence: the natural, normal way)
If being gay were natural, normal, or right, then homosexual reproduction would be possible.
They're douchebags. I bet if it was a lesbian girl, they wouldn't mind to hang out with her. They're dumb ignorant prejudiced guys coopted by the sexist mentality. I hope at least you don't abandon your friend now!
This is sadly very normal. I have person experience because I am gay and I have only told a few people but I know of people who hate me for this. One of my old teachers even came out as gay and people started hating him. As awful as it is, some people are just homophobic. If they're gone be that way, ditch them.
Here in Utah, sadly yes. In other places, no. I say drop your homophobe friends
No, it's not but yet it happens. When I was very young, I went through a very long period where in which I thought I was gay. I lost the people who I thought were my friends, etc. I'm sure this sudden betrayal hurts him (your friend) but he will hopefully move on and try not to let their behaviour get to him.
