How would you react? Mad, upset, or just plain indifferent?

I guess it depends on the friend and how close we were. If they were of the same sex as me, it might be very shocking if I'd never suspected.

As long as they weren't after me, I'd probably feel the same, but I would be more conscious of their actions.

If it were of the opposite sex and I had a love interest in them, it would be very disappointing, but I'd still like them. I might not be so involved with them if there was no longer a possiblity of me ever being with them.

I would not be any different towards my friend if I found out they are gay.... The term is being a *FRIEND* !

Those of us that truly understand the meaning of the word *FRIEND* wouldn't really care one way or the other. Male or female. Who cares? Friends are friends through thick and thin. I have no expectations of my friends, and no "rules" about how they should think, act or feel.

DreamLover brings up good points, but since I'm married, it wouldn't really effect me either way.

Who came up with this disown crap? I am sorry but friends don't OWN eachother to begin with. That word is makes me think of my ex-best friend who was super possessive.

It would **** me right off.

The hell with you if you say you aren't much of a friend. The friend who is gay is a damn liar and a big one at that. Now who of you wants to stay friends when your whole friendship relationship was a lie? They didn't trust you enough to be honest with you.

What else have they been dishonest with you about? Do they have aids? Are they dying? These are serious things to consider when you find out that someone is gay and lied to you by omission about it.

Be stupid if you want. But I would be pissed!

Main Entry: dis·own
Pronunciation: (")di-'sOn
Function: transitive verb
1 : to refuse to acknowledge as one's own
2 a : to repudiate any connection or identification with b : to deny the validity or authority of

It doesnt necessarily carry the negative context your friend has left you with.

That said, who cares what your friends sexual prefrence is.

TomTom,
What if they were just admitting their sexual preference to themselves? And you being their friend they told you after they finally admitted it? Would it still make you as angry? I'm not trying to start something, I'm really wondering..

TomTom,
What if they were just finding out and admitting to themselves first??? Then would you be P*ssed? Perhaps they had a hard time admitting it to themselves, if that was the case how would they tell you first?
This is just putting a different spin on it, not trying to start something..

What else have they been dishonest with you about? Do they have aids? Are they dying? These are serious things to consider when you find out that someone is gay and lied to you by omission about it.

Maybe they knew you were this kind of a ***. Why would you immediatly think they would have aids? Maybe they didnt tell you because they werent confident in themselves or yourself as a friend and got to the point where they thought they could share this obviously private aspect of their lives.

So is it safe to assume that when you meet someone new, that you shake hands with them and say, "Hello, my name is TomTom. I'm a heterosexual. Pleasure to meet you."?

Geesh, I didn't see you come onto these boards and announce that you are heterosexual. I'm TOTALLY offended that you haven't shared this information with us! See? Goes both ways, doesn't it? Roll Eyes

I'm certainly hoping that this is a troll and not Chibreeder. There's a bad enough light cast upon you as it is, and now you're saying something as narrow-minded as this?

Susie---get a grip. Everyone knew what Stacey meant. She doesn't "own" her friends. Take a look at the definition, and figure it out. Nowhere does it say anything about "owning" anything. Sorry if you've had a hard time with a freaky friend, but not everyone is like that in this world.

Bons, this is the same ol' Susie that we've had around forever. She has her little doxie that she got from a friend or something (memory, don't fail me now!)

As for the whole subject, I don't believe you'd have any reason to 'disown' them. That's like getting pissed off at a rape victim because they were too uncomfortable to tell anyone about it. Anyone who would stop being friends with someone for such a trivial reason is childish and was never a true friend in the first place. It shouldn't matter if the person was your best friend or just an aquaintence, their sexual preference shouldn't have any effect what-so-ever on your relationship.

It's a legitimate concern. I wouldn't automatically think it unless they had been ill a lot or very thin. But still, they didn't trust me much or enough to tell me up front--that's the deceit and that is what bothers me.
