I have no gay friends at all, so I really understand this kinda problem you're discussing.

I have a girlfriend (we're together for at least 6 years)and sometimes it's necessary for me to unburden my heart to someone who could really understand what I'm talking about(problems in relationship with my girlfriend, gaps in understanding each other...)

I'm so tired of being a lier within my staight friends circle, parents.. cuz I cannot even talk about my relationship.

Suppose to find understanding here.

i can say my straight friends are the best, they don't give me shit about my life and they get me but its kinda like if i want to make a L word joke or something that you have to be gay to get, they wont get it or if i see a gay movie thats bad azz they wont watch it because its gay. so i guess thats the down side to it but i still have good friends that love me for me.

Ever since I started to "come out" more, I've been stunned, by how *accepting* almost everybody is! My straight friends, seem more devoted than ever, probably because they feel like they finally have me "figured out"... My gay friends, are likewise more supportive, because they admire my courage. So, it's been good, all around, lately.

i just moved to b.c. and am so lacking in gay friends here...i have amazing friends but i feel utterly disconnected. it doesn't help that when i tell people about how difficult i'm finding it to make any lesbian friends here, they go off about how can i live on commercial drive (a very lesbo-centric area) any yet not have met any lesbians here, as if gay girls normally just fall from the sky, land in front of people and wanna hang out.

wow I thought i wa alone in this topic. i have ppl who love me and I love thema nd we are sooo close but because they r straight there are some things they do not get. I have like 2 gay friends and they do not live where I do. I do not want to go out to a meat market to find friends, Im not sure it would work how I want it to anyways. lol. And I have looked around and see groups of clicks that I do not know how to get into, they are so close and Im grew up somewhere else. So if u live in the Carson city NV area!!!!! Im here! I would love more email buddies also, just to bounce shyte off of.

i lack gay friends. i totally need some too. in fact, my best friend is actually pretty homophobic which really saddened me but i guess she's ok with it - more like when i don't talk about anything related to "being gay"

i have a friend that was bi-curious. she had a crush on a girl but quickly got over it. i don't know if she really ended that phase though. she's the closest thing i have as a gay friend.

now there's these two out lesbians at school and no one cares that they are. but i haven't even said a single word to either of them and i doubt they know my name. everyone seems to accept them pretty well.

Why can't a straight girl understand you?
My best friend is straight and she understands me very well i tell her everything and when i told her about my engagement she was very excited :)
It depends on the person not the sexuality..
I love my straight friends just as much as my gay friends :)

charleston dub V hit me up

i was just thinking about this the other day. i wish i had some gay friends to talk to.

I'm in Fl too~~~ heehee~~ awesome, I don't have any gay friends also.... I didn't even out yet...
;P

I know what you mean! I'm friends with a ton of straight girls but don't really have any lesbian friends. Hell, I haven't really had any dates since I came out less than a year ago either. I'm just not sure how to get out there and meet people bc I'm so accustomed to the "straight" life I used to pretend to be a part of. I'm in South Carolina and it's not much better. Did you try joining any gay clubs or organizations?

I live in a small town in Texas so it's hard to find gay friends. I had a straight best friend for many years but that friendship ended because she didn't understand that my girlfriend was jealous of how close we were and how much time she demanded of me. I recall one time she and I went to a gay club and she was so uncomfortable the whole time, wondering if she stood out because she was straight and feeling like there was no one there like her. That was the day I realized how different we really were and how much she didn't understand, because that was how I felt constantly but she never considered that.

Just take me posting in this forum for example, I come here because I know that I can identify with the people here, and that all of you, even though I don't know you, understand, and that's important.

my straight friends are awesome, my gay friends are awesome, I don't draw lines between them. The only thing that is sometimes annoying is if the straight ones get married and then you just get sucked into this wedding vortex which is really annoying. But that would be annoying if/when my gay friends get married, plus, not all straight people crazy out on the wedding either.

Anyway, if you wantto meet gay people, I'd suggest volunteering at some gay cause. I'm not sure if there are a ton of gay orgs or events in your neck of the woods, but there's gotta be SOMETHING, and its really a fun way to meet people and do something positive at the same time.
