Straight Person have GLBT friends?

I have a gay friend that I consider to be one of my best friends. I have several other gay and lesbian friends. Most of my lesbian friends are interpreters or former classmates. Same for my gay friends, mostly former classmates.

In fact, I've found that a lot of people I went to school with at my deaf school are gay or lesbian. Interesting. I can't seem to figure out why.

You know, I think this is true to an extent. I think that sexual orientation isn't a big deal and that if the person is cool and they respect you and you respect them, they are your friend.

Yeah, I think it has more to do with an overall attitude toward life than strictly tied to sexual orientation.
 
My Ex boyfriend is Gay and I'm pretty close to him, we're close friends. I also have a deaf friend who's gay...

So having friends who's gay doesn't bother me at all...We're all different, so it doesn't matter whether your straight or Gay...
 
My ex roommate is gay and he was the best roommate I ever had.

We used to have awesome conversations. We would sit up and talk about guys.

I have a few gay friends and their lifestyle does not bother me.

:ty: Some of my best friends are gay or lesbian.. Dunno why, Maybe cuz they aren't judgemental. We have a much better time together..
 
One of my best friends is gay - he has an adorable partner. I couldnt care less about their sexual orientation. Some of my gfs are bisexual - so what - as long as we all accept each other with love and respect.

The only problem I have with my friend being gay is that we fight over men ;) He is a huge flirt so he naturally gets to men BEFORE I could. Hehehe
 
I have GLBT deaf/hearing friends, whom I hang with. They are fun and smart.
Also, I have some GLBT relatives. I love them as they are flesh and blood. They love me as a Deaf person. So, we are even. :)

Are you saying that a handicap (i.e. Deafness) is the same as being gay (i.e. a handicap)?

Philosophically, true. Shockingly honest.

No, I meant to say that I don't care whether they are gay, or not and they don't care about my deafness, or not but they are not the same thing. I don't consider myself as a handicap. I hope my explanation helps. :)

I have a cousin who is gay, I also have another cousin who is bisexual and I do have friends who are gay, lesbians and bisexual, they're all very dear to me. ;)

But, the most hilarious story is that my grandma didn't even know the meaning of gay after my cousin had informed the whole family that he was gay. I had to explained it to her, from the looks on her face, she didn't get it-- until on the wedding day-- when she saw two grooms kissing, then said.. "Ohhh now I understand what Cheri meant by two guys and what they do to each others butts." My family had said "thanks alot Cheri, You made Grandma become you." :laugh2: :laugh2:

Society serves to handicap both by removing opportunity based on superficial characteristic.

I would also like to add that homosexuality is much more than "what 2 guys do to each other's butts."
