Me too, although I've never had any gay friends (that I've known are gay) *feels left out*

My best mate is a gay man, I'm friends with his partner too. I also have a friend in Galway, Ireland that I visit regularly who is a Lesbian. I don't think their sexual preference has ever been a factor in us being friends, I like them because they're interesting, talented, creative, fun, kind people.

I like people because I like the person, their personality, their good points, their bad points, their ability to interest me and my ability to have good interaction with them and vice versa.

I don't expect them to make a decision on me because of my sexual orientation - nor I them. To do so is bigotted, shallow and has no place in a civilised world.

I love Galway, my brother lives there, it's my favourite county in Ireland

im a straight female and ive had gay friends of both genders male and female it depends on personalities to me. when i was friends with them i worked with them we never stayed friends after we stopped working together but we were good friends @ the time. although i do facebook and text one gay male friend from time to time

One of my mates is gay, didn't know he was when I became friends with them although I guess that just shows that sexuality isn't that big of a factor unless it basically defines people, like making it a big part of their personality and being overly camp and stuff

Annoying people are annoying people, just this whole politically correct culture of ours means that people are wary to say they find some gay people annoying for fear of being dubbed a bigot. I find it annoying when people are loud and in your face, I find it annoying when people are overly religious and try to shove their beliefs down your throat, I find lots of things annoying. There are a lot of annoying gay people, but equally there are a lot of gay people who are not annoying, just like any other group of people in society, everyone's different. I guess that's all there is to say on the matter. You can't expect everyone to be friends with everyone, and a huge talking point for friends is sex and all things related to it. It's obviously going to be hard to relate to someone who isn't interested in the subject matter (e.g. talking about having sex with a woman to a gay man) so I think if the friendship group is heavily based around that, then you're less likely to find a gay person within that group. You know?

Personality >

The question is though would it have been a factor if you had of known before the friendship was established? The stereotypical view is that men worry about being 'fancied' by gay men, or associated with them in case their own masculinity is called into question.

random question but were there camp gay men in olden days? Like in Henry the 8th times

I dont know i was not there.

ask Pyramid, she'll know

:laugh:

coz she's knowledgeable :nono:

you are just asking for another beating

I am straight but have many friends who are gay and lesbian, I likely have many more I haven't a clue as to their sexual preference but then it's none of my business anyway.I have no problem at all with anyone as to their sexual preferences anyway though.

One thing I have noticed however,is that a lot of my friends who are female do develop really close and respectful relationships with gay guys. Preferring to confide in them rather than their general friends or family even.

I've only been to Galway and Dublin, so I've not travelled extensively in Ireland, but I do love Galway. I've been to Connemara a couple of times and I think it's one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth.

:joker:

Pyramid know all sorts of secrets from ye olden days and beyond the sands of time. tee hee..

Damn you Roy, you got in there before me.

Yes Kizzy, some hid in closets for a long time, and when it was safe to come out, they came over to London to do a bit of sightseeing before returning to deepest Borneo where they all live very happily. :D

Not all of them were gay. :nono:
