I am really afraid

I never really understood this kind of thinking. I agree it could mean they were superficial friends, but knowing that is small comfort to Coletti who loved them and was a friend to them. He has fears because he does love his friends and family.

I think what people mean when they say this is that although it would be painful to lose a friend who means a lot to you, if they would react negatively about you being gay then the only conclusion drawn is that they're not the sort of friends worth having in your life, because if they loved you as much as you love them, it wouldn't be a problem - a shock maybe, might take some getting used to, but a negative reaction certainly isn't conducive to a worthwhile friendship. I guess you're right, it doesn't offer much comfort to the Coletti, but it's kind of a brutal awareness you have to have I suppose, that's how I see it.
