My friend's strange response to me being gay

So I have this friend whom I have known for quite a few years now. I was anxious about coming out to him, but then I brought around this guy I was seeing and the guy was being very obvious about the fact that we were together. My friend, however, did not ask me about it later, and it seems that he's in denial about the whole thing even because he insists on still talking about hot girls and things like that. He'll even make mean jokes about gay people around me, too.

I don't know if this is his way of trying to dissuade me from being gay or something, but it's starting to me make feel like I need to tip-toe around the issue of being gay around him and frankly it's making me feel like shit. I think I just need to confront him and say something to the effect of "I'm gay" or "I'm dating guys now," but I just hate that I feel backed into a corner like this by him. I'm starting to wonder if he's really that good of a friend at all, but maybe he just doesn't know how to deal with this. Any thoughts?

 

Good advice, thanks

 

I finally just came out and told my friend that I dated a guy and that I'm in the midst of figuring everything out, and he was supportive of me! Go figure, haha. I feel a lot better now
