So a few months ago, I would have outright told anyone who claimed to be my friend but "disagreed with my lifestyle" to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. But I don't think it's fair or just for me to immediately disregard someone because they don't see things the same way I do. The thing is....it took me 8 years to accept and understand I'm gay. THAT'S patience and, if I can be patient with myself about something like that, I can do it with others too. So if the subject is brought up again with a friend some time in the future and they have changed their minds, then we can put that entire situation behind us. If not, then...I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be friends with someone who disagrees with something as innate as the way I'm wired romantically.
