What would you do if you had a long time friend admit that he was gay?

in the first place, you should have known it better that he was a gay the fact that you have been together as friends for too long. anyway, if he admits that he was a gay, nothing won't change between us, the respect, love, attention, understanding and companionship will still be there. the more i am proud of him because he was honest, 'though he kept his 'secret' for long by himself. i may advice him to take everything slowly and carefully and not rush into anything that may harm him. i may share with him the unconditional love and thoughfulness of God. after all, we are all chidren of God.
