Would you be able to hang around with a gay person?

I wouldn't, because I'd be extremely uncomfortable, but if I found out that a long-term friend was, I guess I might be able to go with it, as long as they don't hit on me

[sarah.]

Why would you be scared of a gay person, unless you weren't entirely comfortable with your own sexuality.

Hanging around with a gay person, would be as easy as hanging around with a straight person. You never know, you may know gay people who haven't told anyone yet.

[dolphinbomb]

Why should it matter?

[Silk]

So long as he doesn't bring his boyfriend or whatever and start kissing in front of me, I guess i'd be fine with it. The same would go for a straight couple though.

I don't follow this whole 'he'll start hitting on me' mentality. I only hang around with my friends, right? If you're my friend, you'll be perfectly aware that I am heterosexual. If someone was planning on hitting on me, i'm sure i'd notice it alot before they actually became a friend of mine. I'll only hang around with people I trust.

[Nick]

I'm gay, so yes.

[Plew]

Why should it matter?

i can hang around gay people. it would be uncomfortable but i can still talk to gay people

[cara]

How is it uncomftorable?? Because they might hit on you? Or because they're not attracted to you? LOL. Seriously. >__>

Actually I have a few lesbian/bisexual friends. Im flattered if/when they hit on me. So, yes I can hang out with them. o.o

well because i am a guy and probably because they might be atracted to me which makes me uncomfortable. but other than that i can hang around them

[ink]

Yes, because I have a large group of friends, including my best friend Jake, that are gay. I wouldn't be afraid of them hitting on me, I would just be like, "Pschh. You know I am straight, silly."

[Ives]

It's not hard to say you're not interested. I don't mind hanging out with gay people. I don't nessecarily agree with their prefs, but hey, that's them, they can do as they wish. Theres no study that shows they're more dangerous or corrupt (though they do get harassed more than a typical straight person), and even if there were, I wouldn't really care. They're my friends, people I think are cool and can hang out with. What their sexuality is shouldn't matter.

[Black Flame]

I have no problems with gays and lesbians. They're people too.

[nox]

No problem.

[Shin]

I'd be alright with it, but if he started hitting on me, I would immediately tell him to stop. I'm not going to hang around someone if he makes me uncomfortable.

[Tetiel]

Absolutely. I don't personally care who or what you are honestly.

[Stryyp]

I have no problems hanging out with gay people. I don't want to see them kissing, but I don't want to see a straight couple do that either.

My uncle is gay and I have no problems with him, nor any other gay people I come across.

[RandomNameIgnoreIt]

Of course If they have a personality that would make them a good friend, then I have no problem with being their friend. I don't see why anyone would be uncomfortable just being around someone that's gay when the only difference between them and you is who they have sex with.

[Christopher Robin]

Oh, Alias, I said no too or did I say flamboyantly... now there's 5 people...

Same it's good to meet new people.

I'm gay, so yes.

What you're gay?

[Vegas]

I picked option number 3. I really cant stand those gay guys that are like so feminine overdramatic. My uncle(no blood relations) is gay but hes not that flamboyant kind so were cool.

So basically, I dont care of their sexuality, just their personality.

[Xiphos]

well im friends with 3 gay ppl, and their sexual preference doesnt bother me, they are still my friends and i dont think sexual preferance/race/religion should judge who ur friends are.

[ShadowLink64]

Yeah, why not? It's should be the personality that determines who friends are (shouldn't be sexual preference).

[Justin]

I seriously want to strangle anyone who thinks just because someone is gay they are going to hit on them. They are people too, you know. They're not going to barking rape you, or try to rub you. Well sure there might be some people out there like that, but there are straight people who do that too. Because surprise surprise, gay people are people too!! *waves hands*

Honestly, the people who answered no to this sicken me FAR FAR more than seeing two guys making out.

Balmung wins this debate

I'm proud to say that my school's among the best at accepting the gay community in America, among all sort of other racial and personal discrimination being nonexistent. I love the tolerance and love here. <3 I'm an ally of one of the gay groups on campus and I'm volunteering in the Stonewall Resource Center. I believe sexuality isn't what people make it out to be and I personally think everyone's varying degrees of bisexual. Discrimination based on who people love is one of the most ridiculous things ever... of course mostdiscrimination is...

[RandomNameIgnoreIt]

Just to let you know, whenever a topic like this comes up, if you say something like "as long as he doesn't hit on me", I'm laughing at you. It's obviously better than the people that hate gays, but it's still laughably homophobic
