Popping in to say that every time I see the title it always makes me laugh.
Also, a friend of mine recently came out as gay. He's only done so in private to a few of us, and he seemed super-anxious and relieved when he told us. Obviously we're all supportive, and all that stuff.
That said, he seems to have some serious insecurity about us secretly hating him. Now, that's not the case, but he keeps stating our lame reactions to him coming out is muted disapproval. I've quit drinking, and thus I don't go to anymore bars and clubs (both gay and straight, we have another gay friend in our group.) Suddenly he's acting like it's because I don't approve of his lifestyle or some nonsense.
I don't know how to deal with this because his sexuality literally does not matter to me in the slightest, and it hasn't changed my perception of this.
How do I make him know that his orientation is accepted, and literally inconsequential to our friendship?
