Would you not be friends with a girl just cause you aren't attracted to her, and she may be attracted to you?

Honestly I hate the stereotype gay is portrayed as on TV, it is unfortunate that many choose to act that way to show that they are gay. But really I don't think most act that fruity. I don't at least...
 
Instead of just telling Josh "Yeah you should still be friends, why wouldn't you?" you guys need to think of what it feels like for him. Of course going on and still being friends would be the right thing to do, but sometimes it isn't easy to do the right thing, like if you see your mate bullying someone you know you should tell somebody, but it's hard to snitch on him.

Anyway, what I'm saying is, whilst it would be right to carry on with him in the same way, it may actually and probably will be weird and difficult...especially the holding hand bit. If you're uncomfortable with him doing that, tell him and I'm sure he'll understand (only if he keeps doing it.)

I can't tell you what you should and shouldn't do, you need to decide for yourself because well, it is your decision.

You do realize that your analogy presupposes that simply being gay is inherently wrong, right?

Nah, not really. All it's saying is that it would probably feel awkward for a friend you've known for so long to suddenly start holding your hand.

I wasn't there so I cant say how he did it, but it was probably just a thank you gesture, not a creepy I like you hand hold.

If he is consistently trying to hold your hand, by all means ask him to back off :-p Yes it can be awkward but you get over it. Be comfortable with yourself and know your boundary.

The first guy I came out to I did have a huge crush on, but knowing he wasn't was enough to know not to push it, he was still a great friend. If he is still a good friend he should respect your boundary, as long as it isn't ridiculous. It is one thing to have your boundary be please keep your hand off my leg, and another to say please stay 10 feet away from me at all times :-p

I really don't get it when people say things like "I'm not a fan of gay people" or "I don't agree with homosexuality". Since when do you become fans of/agree with people's sexual proclivities? It all sounds like not-so-subtle euphemism.
I agree with this man.

Yes, it really does. "If you see your mate bullying someone." It would be awkward because your friend is doing something you know is wrong. That's why your analogy presupposes that being gay is wrong.

It'd be really awkward. I feel really awkward around mentally ******** people. It's not that I don't like them, but I dunno. May be awkward, but to be nice, I'd still be his friend. He can't help it if he's gay anyway, just like mentally ******** people can't help it either.
are you calling homosexuals mentally ********?

really, bro?
 
Thank everyone again. I guess I'll texthim or something. It's just hard being a christian while trying to do something good but wrong in the bible because it says God doesn't support homosexuality and well... You can go ahead and say "it's a lie!" but thats my belief.

that's a whole nother can of worms.

i don't remember/know of anywhere in the bible saying how god feels about gay marriage, but i don't know if here isn't, so i'll keep my mouth more or less shut about that.

just.. don't bring religion into it. you can't win. no one does/can.

glad you're going to (try to) be his friend, hoping for the best.

Guess what, the Bible was written by people in the bronze age. They don't know *censored.2.0* about what's right and wrong.
