its a really cool article, i mean my best friends at home are all guys but they dont really talk about my sexuailty. one of em sorta ignores it but the other 2 are pretty cool. i have had a crush on one of em and he knows that but i told him that like i didnt have it on him anymore or think of like that but rather as my best friend. he was cool about it and didnt get weirded out at all.

i would love to see a programme like will and grace or something to do with straight and gay friendships. its true you never really see anything like that, or even in any movies :S

hehehehe reminds me of this lol

clever...you tell them you don't have a crush anymore, and that prevents them from freaking out/knocking up a girl/getting married at 19/joining the army all to get away from that 'gay boy with the crush'...hmm...wish i had thought of that!

i'm scarred for life because of a friendship with a straight, where i had a crush. then again, he DID say things like 'I love you', and hug me, and spend hours and hours and hours on the phone talking to me (moreso than his eventual girlfriend, who was a girl i set him up with). WOW that got complicated...

never fell for any of my straight male friends, none of them had a problem when i came out, and all still good friends.

Did have a few friends ask did i fancy them after i came out, an nearly all got offended when i said no.

one of my friends always asks me would i do him before he goes out lol! if you say no he gets thick and redoes his hair, great fun :D

One of my best friends is straight and if a gay girl flirted that much with me my gf would be very very jealous, but as it is just her it is laughed off.

TBH, I've some really close straight friends.... one in particular is "straight" though and they are people that BF (if there was one) could get jealous about..... But I have one friend left from my former life in Kildare, and in all honesty, we're like brothers, we know everything about each other, and when it came to it... he didn't care, I came out and he didn't care, it's all the same, just instead of asking me about girls, he asks me about guys! lol

I have straight friends! I put them in cages and locked them in my cellar!

I have gay friends too! But the straight ones expanded their torso's and ate them when they slept!

It was very traumatizing! I'm writing this from inside a straight person's stomach! Dont rush whatever you do!

[fada]

lovely... we won't rush! Lol!

You should rush! I have rice krispie buns! I made them from scratch! And just so you know! (there's no actual rice involved) :eek::eek::eek::eek:
