when a friend 'comes out' to you

and you already knew they were gay. what do you do?

i had a friend that we all knew was gay. we just figured he was discreet and didn't want anyone in his business. but then one day john "comes out" to me. it was like i was in the twilight zone, man. so i said "oh. you want some coffee?" i think he may have thought i was upset, and maybe i was, because it was so hard not to look at him and say "well, duh." total brain cramp man. i was also a little hurt that he didn't realize i knew him better than that.

anyway. was missing johna nd this episode came to mind.

 

you shouldve said "we all knew you were gay long before you knew yourself"

 

THat happened to me once. i just no shit and tole him everyone knew cause he's one of them very obviouse fags and then I finished eating my pizza.

 

yeah. i was worried he was going to get all hurt about it, you know?

 

I had two family members come out to me. One was when I was very young. It sorta freaked me out because I didn't understand. The other was just recently. Actually it is more than just coming out. She's married and they have sex with other couples. That one really surprised me but I don't think anything of it. That's their business.

I think I shocked her more with my non-judgmental attitude.

 

i'm not even sure why it was a big deal. he knew i love the ladies. but he was so nervous and agitated. he always was a very sensitive sort. not the sort i am usually friends with for long, because i have a tendency to someplely ignore those things that other people consider important. like birthdays or anniversaries. the people who usually stick around are the ones that say "hey, fucker, it's my birthday! where's my card you bitch! you owe me some alcohol." and i can say "okay, let's go drinkin'"

 

i've been there also so i can relate,definately not somewhere i would try to land,but when all else fails...f*ck it

 

Whenever one of my buddies "come out" to me, I just beat their ass into submission so that they may return to normalcy. It works! Never again has anyone fallen off the homo wagon!

 

That sounds like when Elton John and George Michael "came out"......like we're all stupid or something...

That is funny though, KC, you trying to act all natural.

 

no, not really...

 

well, fractual, you'd have to know this guy. he'd flip over the strangest things.

 

I say beat his ass anyway so that he loses all feelings of power and then he can build himself up from a good solid foundation.

Beating him is only for his own good.

 

I'm not gay...

 

You are now!
