Gay circle of friends

    I've just realised how lucky I am, with a great circle of LGBT friends (with all letters covered!) and their supporters!

    Let's see (of real-life friends, in regular contact):

    2 gay men
    2 lesbians
    2 bisexual women
    1 bisexual man
    1 transgendered man

    Wow - and I'm out to all but 1 of the bisexual women (don't know her too well)!
    Plus I know 2 other gay men but I'm not so friendly with them so not out to them...
    Plus I know of others by hearsay but not personally.

    We're everywhere!!!! (!)

    Is anyone else as lucky as me? I really hope so, because they have all offered me the most amazing support and I love them all :slight_smile:

    most of my close friends are straight but strong supports of the GLBT community. The one gay guy friend isn't much of a friend b/c he's an ass. but in general my friends are there when i need and things aren't akward between any of them. I have female straight friends who are more comfortable talking to me about sex, and things pertaining to sex, than they are with our other straight friends. i do wish i had more GLBT friends b/c i get tired of being asked my opinion on this or that guy, etc. but besides that i can't complain much.

    I know lots too. I wouldn't consider them all friends, I prefer hanging around with straight people.

    Yeah, I don't have any friends who are outright gay or bi. I do have one girl friend who's kind of bi but definitely prefers guys and then another girl friend who's straight but open. Oh, and my sister is kind of bi, but not really, she's only ever made out with girls when she's drunk (like me!).

    But does it count if all my teachers are gay?

    when i still thought i was straight, i used to joke that my friends were trying to tell me something...
    i had 5 best friends.. 2 gay guys, and 2 lesbians (they were/ still are, a couple) and one bisexual female...

    im only really good friends with one of the guys now... (leaving school, and moving away has made it really hard) but u some times think that because i knew them, its made it easier for me to accept what i am..
     
  11. I am!
    i have a bunch of gay friends
    to be exact 7 lesbians, and 1 bisexual.
    (there are no boy liking boys in my town)

    I don't really have any LGBT friends... I know some (even personally) but I wouldn't go as far as calling them friends.

    4 lesbian plus mum and her partner, ex-partners and friends
    7 gay men
    4 bi girl that i know of

    and i have the straight friends that are really supportive and two don't care what gets said or what they say.

    the guy and best mate hears so much and adds his bit in most gay talks i have.

    the girl who we call Maureen doesn't care about anything. she asks questions that would make most people feel uncomfortable
     
  15. Hmm there's one bi girl I'm friends with. The rest are all straight =]

    3 gay guys (although that's counting my uncle and his partner... but hey, we've all got the same sarcastic cynical sense of humour! =D)

    And... oh jeeze, 5 bisexual people (counting my gf).

    It's a small town and it's not all that tolerant so most LGBT people around here tend to be really quiet about it... I'm one of the few exceptions; I don't care who knows. So there's probably more people, I've got my suspicions about a few of my friends even.

    Most of my friends are gay/bi and the straight ones don't care (if they did, they wouldn't be my friends).

    I really only have one gay friend, other than my bf. However, I do have a number of gay / bi friends I chat with occassionally online. I found it very helpful to have someone to talk to and do things with that could relate to me from this perspective of my life.
