    Anyway how many of us here have friends the we meet in person who are NOT straight? I have 7-10 close friends. The rest I don't know or are straight.

    I know very few people who are not straight.
    None are close friends.

    I can count maybe 2 people I'd consider friends, 1 relative, none I've seen in the last 6 months.
     
  4. Most of my friends are at least bisexual.

    I am in a choir with around 70 queer women. It would be difficult for me to sort out how many are good friends.

    Of the people I'd personally consider good friends, by my own definition, none. Then again, the same goes for non-LGBT people so I guess it evens out. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    My best friend is pansexual, and I know a lot of bisexual kids at school. There's a gay guy a year below me but I don't know him personally. I have a friend in uni who's asexual but I think she's heteroromantic.

    I know around ~30-40 people at my LGBT group, clearly all of them are under the queer umbrella in one way or another. Or there's straight alliances, but the ones I've met haven't been straight.

    And my mentor is bisexual. She's the first person I ever came out to. I owe her a lot.. considering she's helped me out with some of the most struggling times of my entire life thus far.

    Everyone I know is straight, except my last boyfriend who is a true bi-sexaul. Sometimes I wish I had a gay friend. I wished for a gay boyfriend in the past thinking I would be happier. I would not trade my husband for anything or anybody in the world! June

    Other than my girlfriend, who is my best friend, I don't have any good friends that aren't straight. I have two somewhat friends of my own and two more of my gf's that aren't straight. They are decent friends as in I'd invite them to my birthday but not so close that I'd go on vacation with them. I don't see them often. Saw most of them last year at my birthday gathering.

    None- all of my friends are either straight or not yet out.

    The closest thing that I have is my far relative uncle and his boyfriend, but they live in New Mexico and I only see them about once every two years :dry:

    of my closest group of friends: one is a gay man, one is a woman who had a brief relationship with another woman but otherwise considers herself straight, one is an admittedly bi-curious woman, aaaand i think the rest consider themselves straight. and i've known so many other non-straight people, i still consider them friends but they're friends i haven't seen in years.

    If this questioned was asked last week I would have said all of my close friends are straight, but I had a friend come out to me as bi a couple days ago :icon_bigg. We ended up having a really great talk about sexual fluidity that lasted about 2 hours. I also assured him that if he felt he was bi it didn't mean that he was going to end up gay or be forced to break it off with his girlfriend since he loves her. I actually told him I believe that bi people have a harder time coming out and accepting themselves because of the fact that it's not a simple binary for them. For myself, as hard as coming out was, there was only so long I could keep lying to myself about being straight since I felt nothing romantic or sexual towards women whatsoever.

    Outside of my close friends, I would say I have 3 who aren't straight. Then I also have the people I know from my local LGBTQ group, but most of them are more of acquaintance friends.

    All close guy friends, they're all straight.

    I have plenty of gay/bisexual male friends. Some out, some only I know, and some that everyone knows, but no one had to ask lol.

    I would love some lesbian and transgender friends though.
