Since I'm really new on here still, you guys don't know too much about me so I'll give a very quick background. I would call most people acquaintances rather than friends because the mark of a friend to me is someone I can be almost completely candid with. And they would do likewise. I guess that final statement is why I tend to consider most people acquaintances because people tend to always be hiding and editing their thoughts to protect themselves. That's an entire conversation in and of itself that Id be happy to have, but for now I want to ask: do you have gay male or if you are a woman, lesbian friends? (I hope I don't incite the wrath of memechose with my labels. Convenience is my excuse).
Sometimes I think "Man it would be great to have a gay friend". then I'd have someone whom I could better relate with. Trying to talk to a straight guy about gay things is an exercise in futility. And talking to girls is fun and all but being attracted to the same sex doesn't bridge the gender gap in my opinion. Or the fact that one person is gay and the other is straight.
Second question: Do you find your friendships with gay guys rewarding. I might be overestimating. I've got a tendency to overestimate.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to your feedback. My opinion isn't very well formed on this issue.
