Would you treat someone differently after finding out they were gay?
One of my friends came out to all of us at a dinner not too long ago and I’ve kind of been a shoulder for them every since because a lot of people have been weird with him and should be ashamed to call themselves his friend. Some of the girls have been more lovey and supporting of him, is that just women? but some of the guys have treated him like he’s some sort of disease or enemy, would you treat someone differently if you knew they were gay? I wouldn’t.
No, I would just respect the same way.
i would still treat them the same
Why? They are the same person.
Personally, I love gay people. I have a good guy friend that is gay. I originally did not know he was gay, but when I found out I was like “Yep, that makes sense…”
Your friend is still the same person he was before he came out. No telling how long he knew before he decided to come out, some gay people have known since they were kids but were too scared to come out in fear of this same problem.
It’s just the social stigma that gay people always get. Some people just automatically assume that gays (particularly gay men) all have AIDS and will hit on them, which is so not true.
No it would treat him the same.
no way would I treat them differently.
Damn straight I’d treat them differently. A pal of mine didn’t tell me he was gay for years. We went out on the pull loads of times and I always let him chat up the cute girl because I thought he was fussy! Turned out I was wasting my time!
So yes, I do treat them differently. I stop introducing them to cute members of the opposite sex – lol!
Of course not!
Either way I couldn’t be bothered
As a girl for some reason I would do the same to that guy lol… I don’t know why.
The guys are jealous he’s getting more girls than they are. Even if he doesn’t like girls.
And, also straight men are kind of gross when they are “hungry”
You know, staring at our chest everytime we talk LOL.
A gay person – a kind person.
Someone everyone can love.
I think guys are mostly weirded out by it because they’re somewhat afraid that their gay friend may put the moves on them or that if they’re seen together everyone will think he’s gay, too. As a girl, I’ve found that gay guys are usually super fun to be around, and I know that a lot of gay guys can be seen as just another girlfriend to go to the mall with.
There are many deep seeded problems that lead people to mistreat the gay community, much of which has to with the parents. You can’t blame someone who doesn’t understand that differences like sexual orientation can’t be helped. The only thing you can really do is encourage your friends to accept the way your gay friend is and try not hold a big grudge against them. If they’re truly his friend, they’ll come around eventually.
id treat them better since others probably give em a hard time.
I don’t think so
No, i’d treat them the same. It makes no difference to me.
to be truthfully i don,t know
No, he’s still a human being. it’s not like he mutated into something else. and besides, i oppose discrimination against anyone whether it’s because of their race or gender.
No, but it would be different. I kind of always thought my old best friend might be bi. But I’m not sure if he was or not.
No I would love and care for them just the same as if they were straight.
Their sexual preference is different, but they aren’t.
