On Topic: I do, infact, two fo the three people who I consider my closest friends are in a Lesbian relationship together.
People get their ass kicked because they are bad at fighting not because they are gaythezookeeper said:
getting your ass kicked can happen to everyone, sexual orientation aside
As for the topic one of my friends is gay and the few lesbians that I know are not really friends more that I worked with them
Kinky! I keed, I keed!Dedtoo said:
I honestly don't know any gay or lesbian people, but I guess that comes from not being all that social.
Nope. But I do have a Bi friend if that counts for something. Why I don't have any gay friends you might wonder? 'Cause I'm awesome at making friends and I got a ton of them (but not really). Yay for introvertness and having few close friends! Wait... was this why I scored "chilly" on the "How Cold is your Heart"-test a while back?
Straight people get their asses kicked but never because they're straight, or really fucking rarely anyway. Gay people are victim to attacks all the time because of their sexuality. Pride festivals aim to stop crap like that happening, and help with a few other things.jamesworkshop said:
I'm only 15 so most people my age, if they are gay, haven't come out yet. SO who knows but there's a few that I'm wondering about.
EDIT: Almost forgot there's 1 or 2 guys in the year above that I've spoken to a couple times that are gay.

I work in Theatre and i've been involved in Gay theatre festivals so I know a fair few gay people. Most are lovely people, however the ones who act all camp and 'fabulous' i don't bother socialising with because by and large they tend to be self centered arseholes and are rotten to work with. Also on occasion when i've been the only straight in the room they've been obnoxious to me because i was straight... They scream persecution against people who aren't homophobic (because they personally don't like them, not because they are homophobic) and then behave like the homophobes by treating people who are of a different sexual orientation like crap.
One of these 'fabulous' people was a very good friend of mine until he came out and started acting all stereotypical camp and fabulous. Im not a 100% sure why but i think he felt like he had to start behaving like that because he was gay, which is a pity really because prior to this bullshit he was a sound bloke.
Other gay friends have told me that its an extreme phase some guys go through, and that they revert back to themselves and the way they used to behave after a while.... its been about 5 years unfortunately and from what im told my former buddy is still acting like a self centred arsehole.
Another guy who did the whole 'fabulous' thing stole from my sister and lied to her about it for over a year, and as far as he was concerned he was exempt from any responsibility or the need to behave like an adult about it because he was 'faaaaabulous'
Its a pity that the stereotype for gay people is this, because most of the people who act like that are complete and utter wankers. whereas most of the normal gay people i've met who aren't all in your face about it are solid decent people.... why can't the latter be the stereotype instead of the former?

Or it's possible his dad was once married (to look "normal") and then came out at some subsequent point. Well, that's what happened with my aunt/godmother's first marriage, anyway. EDIT: I should have looked father down the first page.Julianking93 said:
OT: Yes I do have gay and lesbian friends, both in real life and on here. Oh, and my cousin is gay as well. His boyfriend is awesome. HE'S A BARTENDER!
My uncle is gay, but I have no trouble accepting he and his partner - In fact, they're pretty awesome people!
Yeah, one of my best friends in High School was Bi and at least a handful of my close friends are Gay/Lesbian.
It's not really a big deal, the only awkwardness is the initial "reveal" where they're not sure how I'm going to react.
It's tough having a friend look at you like you may very well sock him in the teeth because he's just come out of the closet.
It doesn't change anything in our relationships with one another, I don't see why it should.

Pretty much. I'd sooner set those fuckers on fire than sleep with them.chiefohara said:
Gay rights does not mean "making people put up with shrill, nasal, self-centered cunts who perpetuate a negative stereotype"
But yeah, I have some gay friends. And my boyfriend.
