    Ever since I came out as gay one of my friends he started acting strange. I told him I liked him as a friend and he kept on acting weird. I think he is not comfortable around gays but I am not sure. Any advice on how I can deal with this?

    I think you should confront him or just talk to him. Understand what's causing this change you are still the same nothing changed. If you feel your friend is homophobic it's not your fault if he value your friendship he should adjust, you're already out of the closet and you don't need someone to push you back in it.

    I think you should simply talk to him about it. Ask him what he thinks about you being gay, or if he minds it or not. But no matter what his answer is, don't think badly of yourself. If he stops wanting to be your friend because of a sexual preference, then he's not worth it. If he doesn't accept you for who you are, he isnt a real friend. However, I hope this isn't the case. Good luck, I hope things go well.:thumbsup:
