Hey guys, since I just figured out today that there's a gay kid in my class I'd like to ask you guys how do you feel about lesbian/gay/bi/transgender people? Here's my opinion.
I'm not 100% against it as they're all normal people, but there's a gay kid in my class and he was one of my best friends and when he told me he was gay a couple of days ago, it started being super awkward. But let's here all of your thoughts, it might change my opinion on it and it may not.
My honest opinion on gay people is that they're just like everyone else. Some people forget that. They think that the LGBT people just wanna fuck anyone and everyone. That's not the case. These people that like the same sex cannot help that they like the same sex, it's just what they know. It shouldn't be awkward for you, if he was your best friend, then he still is! He just decided to come out of the closet (which is a very hard thing to do for some people). If he's like hitting on you, or trying to get with you... I understand awkward moments, if that does happen just let him know you're straight and all you'll ever be is friends. (he will understand).
There's no need to look at him or anyone else differently because of their sexual orientation. Imagine if you woke up from a coma, and you were straight but everyone was gay, and they treated you different and looked at you different for liking girls. Wouldn't you wanna be looked at the same?
Don't let something like this get in the way of a good friendship.
