i dont know if this helps the relationship with your straight friend but gays are not interested in straight men that way. Gay men are only interested in other gay men sexually. Sexing a straight is at minim awkward and full of guilt and the okcupid dating site did some research on the topic. The research is kinda believable because of the high sample numbers. Here is their thoughts:
"Gay people are not sexually interested in straights.
The subtext to a lot of homophobic thinking is the idea that gays will try to get straight people into bed at the first opportunity, or that gays are looking to "convert" straights. Freud called this concept schwanzangst; the U.S. Army calls it Don't Ask Don't Tell.
We combed through over 4 million match searches, and found virtually no evidence of it:
Match Search Returns
only 0.6% of gay men have ever searched for straight matches.
only 0.1% of lesbians have ever searched for straight matches.
only 0.13% of straight people's profile visitors are gay.
Furthermore in our dataset, there was not a single gay user, male or female, who primarily searched for straight people. "
i guess when you come out you loose some guys you thought were your friends, sorry to hear about your loss.
