do you like having gay friends?

Whilst I am not suggesting you are doing this, I just wanted to say that I don't think it is right to paint everyone with the same brush, sexuality doesn't suddenly make all gay people effeminate, or lacking convictions or carefree or whatever. Everyone has their different personalities, it is just often the case the the more entertaining types of people make it into the public consciousness, be that a good or bad thing. A friend is someone that you know, that you share things with, that you care of and vice versa, someone that you trust someone that you have known for a good period of time. To that end, just like anyone a gay person can be all of those things and therefore they can be a friend, a true friend whenever. I have gay friends and it makes no difference to me what their sexuality is, what is more important to me is that as a person, just like all my other friends, as a person, they have a similar personality to me, they share similar interests, they aren't over the top or embarrassingly the centre of attention. But hey, those are the sorts of people I like to be around, other people like their friends to be the life and sole of the party. Sexuality makes no difference, but being compatible does.

I have no problem having gay friends. I have gay and lesbian friends, I have straight friends, I have celebate friends, I have friends of all kinds. It makes no difference to me what kind of friends, just as long as I have friends.

Hi Cherriemae...yes i do have a gay friend and i enjoy his company a lot more than some of the girls around :) he is fun to be with no pretensions and you can learn so much too

well I got a friend of mine whose a gay but in my country people are not so open about this sensuality due to lack of education and awareness.I do support gay marraiges and relations coz one makes it from his heart and not from body....moreover I really never found them different infact they were so normal.I believe its the people who are abnormal and reject them somtimes due to narrow mindedness.....

Gay friends are good. They tell you without any hesitations and doubts what they feel and see about you. Though it is annoying, it makes you a better person in a way. But not all of what you hear and what they tell are true. You still know yourself more than anybody, so, don't get too affected if they hurt your feelings because of what they say.

no i don't want. them may accuse me as gay also if i have a gay friend. you know they might say that birds of the same feather flocked together.

I hvae several gay friends and they are lovely people and really good friends. One person in particular has been a great source of support to me in the past, a true friend

I have gay friends and I respect them as a person. I dont discriminate for I believe they are the same like me with feelings and emotions and they also get hurt. I love to be with them for they are creative and artistic ways, they are such jolly people and I like to be influenced with their positive outlook in life. I have a gay friend who is a great choreographer and I love his steps and ways and his creativity. He is alos someone that cheers other people even though deep inside he may be crying.

I do have gay friends.. they're fine and fun to be with.. I go with gays who are decent.. One bad thing about them which girls also have is their being very talkative. They love to gossip.. But not all.

Hi Cherriemae. I have some gay acquaintances. They are nice, funny, and always full of life. For me it doesn't really matter what kind of gender you have. As long as we hit it off and agree on things and well basically can get along fine. I can be friends to a certain degree. Just as we are friends to some degree here. It's part of life for our own growth as individuals.

I don't have any gay friend i guess. I never ask him or something. But for is fine have a gay friend, i make friend with their personality like with his love life. But i do have a lesbian friend, and i'm a little bit scare with her, because she like me and always around me.. I'm fine with her as long as she didn't do "something" with me.

I have gay friends and I love them dearly. They're fun to be with, they're honest and they tell you honestly if your make-up sucks or if what you're wearing is horrible! I love shopping with them because of their fashion sense, I love having coffee with them because they won't stop talking.

I don't have any gay guy friends right now, but at one point in my life I had a whole bunch! They are fun to be around, they are honest and tell you how it is. I don;t think they are Not true friends, i think they are great friends, much more so than women friends because there is no competition.

i have and i l0ove having ga friends..lol they are fun to be with.

I've some gay friends... And they're too fun and lovely

I have gay friends but i do not have thme because they are gay, I have them because i like them as persons. I do not think that a persons sexuality should stand in their way - or in mine to have them as friends. They are just normal people just like u and me...

I have a few friends who are gay, and I don't see any difference in them than my straight friends. We all treat each other like family, and have the same rspect for each other whether we are straight or gay.

I do have gay friends and boy are they talented and intelligent! They're never a bore to be with and I feel them treating me as a FRIEND, really. You're right, no pretentions.

yes. i have 2 not so gay friends from the office and it really fun having them around. but like what you've said they have no pretensions and they are very persistent and insensitive sometimes. though its fun to have them around, you should also be cautious with them because they tend to gossip and spread rumors about you and what you told them.

I have gay friends. They're the 'formal' and 'mature' type of friends that would not leave you shameful or in shame after their shrieks and actions. They're not the types of gay people who celebrate their gayness with attention-getting stances. They're friends as friends could be. Plus, they're professionals and they know how they should act. I like my gay friends because they're real. And as you said, they're fun to be with because their truly speak their mind.
