So I think I've posted about this before, but I was thinking about it again today: how do you support a friend who is closeted and in an opposite-sex marriage? I came out to a friend a while back, and his response was surprising, suggesting that he isn't as straight as I always thought he was. And he's dropped a couple of hints since then about seeking LGBT counseling. For full disclosure, I love this man, and I would totally give a relationship with him a chance, but right now, I just want to support him during what could be a really difficult emotional time. I've talked about him to a couple of other people, and they concur that he may be really struggling right now. Any advice?
Would he go to the LGBT centre with you? Or a pride event? If you presented it as him supporting you? Do you think if he had a bit more exposure to supportive environments he might think about making changes for himself? Maybe he was indirectly asking for help getting LGBT counselling. Perhaps there's a drop in group you two could go to.
