Re: Gay/lesbian friends
The difference is that homosexuality is based on being attracted to same sex and also… ‘obvious’ homosexuals are showing it indirectly.
A liar, cheater or thief is not known by other person unless it affects the person. I think if it comes to knowledge that other person is a liar, cheater or thief then it is fine to not be a friend or buddy with that person.
What I talked about homosexuality being different is when obviously homosexual is seen with the person as a close friend there is a social implication upon that person and maybe on his family or kids. Kids may start asking awkward questions. Other friends may start doubting the person own orientations as well.
Those who feel fine with it may do so but not everyone can get over the eeky feelings when around the same sex person who may have a potential to see you as a sex partner or even looking at you in a “different way”.
Jokes and puns around straight men (close friends) directing at each other to be gay are known to make each other irritated. But not everyone likes it.
What you’re talking about has a name…its called homophobia. But let’s be realistic here…you really think every gay man is going to look at you lustily as a target? No. Their taste is much more discriminating than females’…
