I just found out yesturday, that some of my friends are gay and bi. Now, I still acted normal when I was with them, but the feeling being surrounded only by them was a little ackward. I know I shouldn't be ashamed of who my friends are. They haven't hit on me or did anything of the sexual act. I told them I was straight. So anything anyone can suggest.

Suggest what? I don't see a problem here. Of course your friends throughout your life are bound to be gay, bisexual, or straight. That's natural and no big deal. It's just like having some friends who are blonde and some who are brunette. If they don't tease you about your sexuality or do anything else to make you uncomfortable, then I cannot imagine how it would ever be a problem. 3nodding

Ya I just had 2 friends come out of the closet for eacho ther. I find it unuasally funny. I don't poke fun at them of course but every now and then I'll have a little snicker about it by myself. XD I guess the reason for the humor is that one of them was homophobic until he met his partner XD

Well, I found out yesturday, another friend of mine is Bi. Now, bI'm ok with being around Bi's, but not for gays for some reason. So, I'm like half homophobic or whatever.

Does it really change who they were?
If you hung out with them fine last week, how does knowing they are now gay affect it? People don't wake up one morning and come out, they're lifelong feelings.
If it bothers you that much, just ignore that they told you. They're still the same person. And not every gay person would want to date you, or even find you attractive.

I agree with the above, if they were your friends last week how does them being gay or bi have anything to do with it?

No, you see. I said I didn't mind if he was Bi, it didn't change my opinion on him. However, gay is a different story.

Well, everything back to normal, you guys are right. I shouldn't care if their Bi or gay and I don't care so everything seems normal to me.

Zeltoric14 Well, everything back to normal, you guys are right. I shouldn't care if their Bi or gay and I don't care so everything seems normal to me. Great. 3nodding A lot of people are freaked out when they first find out someone close to them is bisexual or gay. But it does not take long to realize that it doesn't matter. They're still the same person, and it does not mean that they are going to start pinching your butt or anything like that. xp Keep in mind that not every straight guy is attracted to every single female out there. So gay guys probably aren't going to be attracted to every single guy out there, right? So you don't have to worry about all of your friends suddenly falling in love with you. xp

LorienLlewellyn Keep in mind that not every straight guy is attracted to every single female out there. So gay guys probably aren't going to be attracted to every single guy out there, right? So you don't have to worry about all of your friends suddenly falling in love with you. xp I totally agree with this and my gay, lesbian, bi and trans friends talk and joke about that fact a lot. (I live in San Francisco and through fate or something end up with a lot of GLBTQ friends naturally) To be fair, I get awkward with my guy friends when i think one of them might have a crush on me. I think fear of someone being attracted to you that you don't like in that way is rather natural.
However, part of the thing is men tend to be socialized to fear being intimate, and I don't just mean that physically, with other men. So, guys being intimate with other guys tends to be seen as violating the codes of masculinity that most men operate under.
Really, Zeltorie14, I'm sure it'll be weird for awhile, but you'll eventually get comfortable with the fact that some of your friends are gay and bi, but it'll take some adjusting; and this is coming from a girl who got dumped by her boyfriend, because he discovered he was gay, and continues to be friends with him.
