Would you Like a G.a.y or L.e.s.b.i.a.n to be your Friend?

I have met plenty of people who are gay and I really wish other people would be more willing to just get past who they sleep with and see them as human beings. It is really sad that people get hung up on the littlest details and turn something that is so beautiful (love) into something so ugly with hate,ignorance and intolerance. Around here it isn't that well accepted but we are slowly coming around.

Dear friend, I do not have any object in making Gay or Lesbian friends unless they do not go beyond limitations of a friend. Even though I have a gay friend he is very much like a best friend even though I know he is gay and he so nice to me. Hence I feel that these people are friendly as any other people who are not in their group. I had also seen many others who have gay and lesbian friends who go well as good friends.I do like my gay friend. I had not yet had any lesbian friends even if they come later I do not have object I am happy to get a new good friend.

I would not mind at all! We also had a parade this weekend, and a festival that lasted for two days! It can be rather difficult to know who is gay and who is not! The only way to know is if they tell you they are gay, or you witness them with their boyfriend/girlfriend! In our country, many people accept it, but many others do not! Even near a big city, their are many people who do not come out of the closet, since it will bring discrimination and bad reactions from friends and family!

yeah, i would love to have some gay and lesbian friends! i don't really have any and i am a lesbian myself sooo lol i want me some gay friends... there are a lot of gays in south florida i just never get out to meet any of them.. we have those type of parades here too. pride fest.. i really want to go to it.. i'm going to when it comes back around this time.. i wish i would of gone to the last one but i was too shy and nervous lol

here in the philippines, being g.a.y./l.e.s.b.i.a.n is ok. to tell you the truth i have a lot of friends who are like that. aside from the fact that they're fun to be with, i actually admire their courage to be themselves :D

Actually, one of my best friends is g.a.y. It's kind of funny though, because you can't tell the first time that you meet him. So whenever I introduce him to any of my other friends (this applies mainly to the girls), they always whisper to me that he's really cute and ask if he's single. I have to try not to chuckle when I tell them that he has a boyfriend. They never do believe me when I say that though.

Yes, I would have a gay or lesbian as my friend. I've recently begun hanging with a group of lesbians and they are the nicest people I have ever met. They are very accepting.

yes i have many friend in this category, but thye are good and true friends for me. i sjest them to leave this type of activity. and both boys and girls are good freinds.

my youngest brother was a gay, i don't mind if he's gay or if i'm gonna have some gay friends at all. as long as we understand and get along with each other, that's fine with me

In Japan also, g.a.y or l.e.s.b.i.a.n.s are not viewed with respect. But I personally do not have any objection towards such kind of alternative lifestyles. It is up to the individual to select the life and to live.

I have a lot of gay friends and they've been fun to be with. I like having them as friends. They often make me forget about my worries. Even my girl friends have adopted their language because we used to hang out with them a lot.

the are very nice people to hang out with .lota of fun heard

I am lesbian, but before I came out I had many male friends who were gay. I have a friend who told me that gay people in Hawaii are held in higher esteem. I've never actually studied that to find out why that is but I thought it was interesting.

I was born in Canada and moved to the US when I was younger. I have since realized that I am a lesbian and have actually contemplated moving back at some point. I live in a very conservative state at the moment, gay marriage is a long way in the future for us. I used to live only a few hours from Toronto and I've wanted to attend the pride parade in Toronto, I've heard it's a blast

Yes, I have a diverse group of friends. Discrimination in the U.S. is still strong but it seems to be getting better. More people are expressing acceptance of the idea of gay/lesbian marriage or civil unions. And all the while there are people who imagine some secret agenda that heterosexuals and their families are at risk. Silly idea. And to the people who object for Biblical reasons I ask, Would Jesus Discriminate?

iam never like to be my friend because they are haven't norm in the world... iam not agree

Hi Muelitz! Of course its ok for me to have a gay or lesbian friend. It doesn't matter what kind of gender they have. They are still humans and being gay or lesbian doesn't make them less human or unworthy of being a friend. They are also jolly people and fun to be with cause' there are no boring hours when you're with them. I know cause' I have a gay friend and lesbian cousin. Ciao!

I have had several friends and acquaintances that are gay/lesbians. They are some of the nicest, sweetest, most exceptional people I may have ever met. I have expressed my feelings on this subject on here before and won't repeat myself. Thank you for contributing this discussion.

I also have gay/lesbians friend. Why not? They are also human created by God. The only problem that they are still pushing through is that, being gay/lesbian is not in the holy bible. Then so what? For me, as long as they are not causing trouble, they should be treated like a normal people. Give the love and respect they deserve.

For me there is no problem. I would also ask myself when I am with gay lesbian friends if they too accepted me as their friend who is "straight" preferenced. The reputable gays I've met and became friends are creative, proactive and happy people. Most gays "Babaylan or girlalo" are always in high spirit despite their morality being questioned.
