    God -_- Well i have this friend, he is sortta of an homophobic, he knows that im bi or gay or whatever and sometimes he just drives me nuts! -_- Like for instance NOW -_- He is alwasy saying things the you could infer things like "is bad to be gay, gays are bad" and UGH stuff like that. And the worst is that he can be so infantile sometimes! When i confront him about this he just startslike moking me -_-...UGH -______________-
    The problem is that i really care about him but he is making me very mad -_- And a little depressed that he is that way also...
    This is probabbly just for venting...I dont think i could block him away from my life i just =w= wanna know what do you think =w= And if these kind of people are worth it for the long run (we have been friends for like 3 years and i recently told him, i...think i dont remember exactly =_=)

    Ok, if he's homophobic and knows about you how could you possibly stay friends?

    Your best option is to let him know how exactly he's hurting you. Then you'll know if he cares enough to stop.

    For Jimmy, well its like he "tones it down" for me; he hates most of the gay people i know (says because he has hurt me a lot, and the other well long story xD)
    I always try to talk to him about it but he always avoid the subject by doing "funny" remarks about everthiny -_- (and not just this, every fight we have had its always like this ::_::slight_smile:

    He just sounds extremely ignorant about what "being gay" means. I don't really know how you can stay friends with such a person.

    Its completely up to you. I wouldn't be able to stay with a person that says "I hate all gay people, except yo of course. You are different, not like all the rest of the faggs"

    So he withholds much of his hatred toward gays when with you. What a good friend.

    Sorry, I'm not interested in being "one of the good ones" or "my one exception" for a homophobe. Tell him to drop talking smack about gays for being gay around you, or you're kicking his straight ass to the curb.

    How come your friend doesn't feel the same way with the gay comments when it comes to you? Why doesn't he control himself in order to not lose you?

    Like I said, its up to you, but being with someone like that cannot be healthy in the long run.
