Do you feel comfortable around gay people?

I have had, and still do have, beloved friends who are gay or bi-sexual...and yes, there always seems to be one in the bunch who is the ultimate drama "queen", while another one or two need a stiff drink to bring out that side of "grander expression". LOL

I love them nonetheless...they truly keep things interesting, although sometimes it does get absurd...not many folks can deal with excruciating honesty...I have found them to usually be quite open & artfully knowing, but then my friendship realm is very select & all contain these qualities...any of their advice is held dear & in my best interests to heed.

I can understand your annoyance with someone like Edward, but please...don't be too harsh...I'm sure you have your sides that people deal with because they care about you, not necessarily for you, all of the time...we all can be "difficult". Edward simply has an over-expressive "style"...it's hard for guys to deal with emotional women, let alone an emotional man...it's just not a "norm" you confront everyday. So, be compassionate/tolerant when the need arises...they are virtues quite sought after by us females.

We are quite a diverse bunch, we humans...to say the very least!!! LOL

Ok, so first don't take this the wrong way, but u sound a little bit sensitive and defensive. Gay guys- it is a common thing with them- that a lot of them know how to dress and what works with which outifts, etc. So, as far as them saying something about your style, well you might want to improve a little bit- not b/c they said but b/c when they said it u were offended and probably defensive. If you update ur style into something a little fresher, don't think of it as u did it for them or b/c they said something. U did because u wanted to make urself feel better and be more comfortable within your own style.

Sometimes gay people can be obnoxious and it gets on my nerves too. Especially with guys flinging their hands around and such. I mean even if ur gay that doesnt mean u lose complete control of the muscles in your hands...or does it? (j/k)

FYI - not all gay people act the same. Most of the guys I can deal with. Gurls don't bother me at all ;)

I honestly believe that homosexual people are born homosexual..i have many friends that are "gay" and they have told me a hundred or more times that all they want is to be "normal'. Im just glad i live in a country that allows people to be themselves..You might find the guy annoying but no one said you had to be best friends with him. If you dont like what he says treat him like you would anyone else and explain to him how he offended you. Who knows maybe you will get use to the way he talks and become friends..if not it already sounds like he has some. Good luck

People will or won't annoy you regardless of their sexuality, colour, age, weight or religious affiliation. You need to look really deep inside yourself and figure out what is going on inside you. Could it be you wish you could be friends with certain people, but because they happen to be gay, you are fearful of being judged by others? Life's too short to worry about that kind of stuff. Really.

I have a lot of gay friends, and they talk, walk, and just act plan normal. In fact unless they told you, or if saw them with their bf/gf you would never know they a gay.

Sounds like your friend Edward wants attention, or you are making it up based on something that you have seen on tv.

Maybe if you took time to a gay persons friend you would understand them better.

I'm am sorry that you have this perception of gay people. I have worked with alot of gay people and alot of straight people. Some gay people aggravate me, some straight people aggravate me. I think he is right when he says you need to come out of your shell, you should have a more open mind. If you cannot, then you shouldn't judge them so harshly. Maybe you should take a good look at yourself.

I feel very comfortable round people who like the same sex. im not gay myself but have lots of friends that are, and there great fun to be around.

I do feel uncomfortable around gay people, but you can't judge the whole gay culture based upon one gay guy.

I'm not uncomfortable around anyone. They're doing this because they know it gets to you....just like a school yard bully (as a kid) --- you're making it obvious (probably?) that it's bothering you and they're probably doing this thinking you are a homophobe......it's not our place to judge people. We aren't put on earth for that.

The only time I'd feel uncomfortable around a gay person is for two very serious reasons:

#1. If they were trying to kill me...AND

#2 If they farted.
