I am almost positive one of my best friends is gay. I became friends with him in high school but we didn't really bond until college. Every single guy from his group of friends in high school ended up coming out of the closet, or they're very blatantly gay and you can just tell. My friend also makes a lot comments about guys and would get jelous when girls give me a lot of attention and say very suggestive things(although this might just be more low self-esteem on his part). Early in our friendship he was the typical "I HATE FAGGOTS" kind of guy, he would always point out gay people and say terrible things about them, claim that gays are the "downfall of America", etc. If anyone gave him the slightest impression that they might be gay, he would completely obsess about it. Lastly, if I accidently kicked his foot or something underneath a table or something, he would give me a strange look every single time and be like "uhh...". Can someone explain what this means? I may be wrong, but I think this is what some gay guys do to communicate secretly, play footsie or something (LOL). Also once when I was driving I asked him if he could light my cigarette, which he did, but while doing it he said "OMG THIS IS SO GAY" like it was a huge deal. He has calmed down with his "fag-bashing" and strong homophobia since, but as you can probably infer already he is almost definitely gay, or bisexual maybe. He is an awesome friend but sometimes I wish he would just stop lying to himself about it. I'm straight but I've told him several times (not in a confronting way) that I'm fine with gay people and I wouldn't change my feelings towards someone if I found out they were (because obviously that's how it should be). He has calmed down since. The only thing that DOES make me feel kind of weird but I would never tell him is that he basically had a crush on me when I first met him. I know this because in high school we worked together and whenever we'd be in solicitated places he would indirectly try to grope me, LOL. It was pretty weird, but whatever. That was years ago and I think once he got to know me better he just started seeing me as a friend and not in that way, lmao. |
