I'm uncomfortable around gay people. Why might that be?

No idea. But it's wrong. I used to be a little uncomfortable with lesbians back when I used to be a naive, close-minded 12 year old. There's no need to be uncomfortable with homosexuals. They're people, just like you and I. And for what it's worth, I doubt they'd be hitting on you or thinking of you in a sexual way. Why would a gay guy try it with a straight guy? That'd be like me flinging myself at a gay man. Pointless.

Get to know some. I used to be uncomfortable around black men UNTIL i got to know some. i even had relationships with 2 black males. not together but one at the time. And i also have a few black friends males and females Cheers and good luck

Because you think that that gay man is checking you out thats not true its just like being in the same room as a girl

You were taught or learned to be uncomfortable. A homophobic parent could do that, or homophobic friends. If you allow it to, that will pass and you will find yourself very comfortable around them.

Chill out Opie...we don't bite or kiss on ugly boys.

your either afraid that you might be gay or that we are gonna hit on you.

Because you're a close minded asshole.

You were taught that.
