Inspired by the multitude of threads, I want to put out a more practical reality and question.
For those of us living in the West where there is social acceptance of gays, lesbians and transgendered people and most of us likely know first-hand a person who lives the lifestyle, how many of you would choose to be friends or if not friends, then at least friendly with a GLT person? Would any one you choose to not be friends and keep a distance - if so, why?
Where would you draw the line on your friendship or acquaintance?
Personally, through work I had two colleagues who are gay. We were pretty friendly at work and even after they left our place of employment, I will meet up for lunch or coffee just to catch up with one another.
For people living in the East, where the same reality exists but it's brushed under the rug, how many of you would choose to be friends or friendly with someone who was G/L/T?
I had a gay colleague many years ago and he was a very nice gentleman. My friendship was limited to coffee at break time in the office, a casual exchange of the days events and that's pretty much it. I didn't have any issues with him or his behavior. Then we had a gay realtor but that dude was really feminine..the only thing he didn't do was wear nail paint but I can almost certainly say he wore blush. Anyway, aside from that, he was good at what he did and I again, had no issues with him.
The thing is that I really don't care what anyone does with their life until it flows into mine in some way that I feel is negative. At that point I create a distance. It doesn't matter if that person is a homosexual or heterosexual.
Hmm, if there is some sort of a hormonal issue or birth problem, then I dont mind people having abnormal tendencies. But otherwise, I really despise homosexuality. In my opinion, men can have a very loving relationship, they can be physically affectionate, but to be romantically attracted is not a good idea. Plus, woman is such a beautiful creation of Allah, the hair, the eyes, the lips, the curves, the softness, why would someone want to go to a man for physical intimacy.

Oh, the sarcasm ! Ya know, dont make wrong meanings of my words. I was speaking as a mere spectator. Sometimes there is a message inside a message, and its all done with a crispy clean (krispy kreme) intention. For an unconcerned soul, the message is rather puzzling and bafflesome. But I cant help it, thats just how my being is.

uhh, I want to make an inappropriate comment here.
hmm, when I posted the message, I could suspect that it can land the wrong way, but I refrained from editing it. I thought pretty much anything can be taken any way, and if I keep censoring because of this fear I’ll lose my spontaneity. Please rest assured that my intention was good.
Anyhow, I am glad you didnt say what you wanted to say, that would have made me embarrassed. :sid:
First of all - not every Gay fella /Lesbian Chick wants to get in your pants so you straight people , get this out your mind first !
I know few gay people in me life , mostly from work and we have been good friends - I have never brought their sexual orientations and preferences into discussion and I have always observed my boundaries..
