How to know if your best friend is gay
Gay Best Friend: A letter to unbent people from the 'GBF'
Since before I can remember, I’ve hated hearing someone say the synonyms, ‘gay.’ I came out when I was years-old. And to this night, it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. After I came out, I faced bullying, rejection, and depression. But, with the lows came the highs - one of which was when I finally became, the sacred grail, ‘gay finest friend’.
Despite the lgbtq+ best friend (GBF) often being consideration of as ‘the hottest accessory’, it was, and still is, a label that weighs heavily on my brain. According to the movies, I should have loved my unpaid position as the straight girl’s best friend/agony aunt. Always listening to her boy problems and being her comedy side queen should have been an honour. But in reality, I realised it wasn’t a fun title at all.
Coming out
Having dabbled with the thought of being straight and denying who I was for far too long, I stopped pretending that my best comrade was a potential love interest (thank you Alex) and told my family just before I left sixth form.

Understanding Your Urges: Sexual Tension Between Friends
Is it normal to have sexual tension with a friend?
Research has found that many friendships involve romantic or sexual tension. In friendships between a man and a woman, men are more likely to experience attraction toward a woman confidant. However, a smaller percentage of women have also been found to encounter attraction toward friends.
In one study, about half of people reported having had sex with a acquaintance with whom they weren't otherwise romantically involved. Sexual tension in friendships appears to occur more commonly at a younger age and less commonly as people grow older.
How perform you deal with sexual tension between friends?
If you are experiencing sexual tension toward a friend, it's up to you to decide what you crave to do about it. If you or the friend are in a committed relationship with someone else, not acting on the attraction might be best. Sometimes attraction is short-term and passes with time. In other situations, attraction might be uninterrupted, and a person might decide they need to have a conve
How Do I Help My Homosexual Friend?
by D’Ann Davis
“How do I help my gay friend?” This is a question we notice constantly in the Living Dream office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world. Twenty years ago not many Christians asked this question, for few knew any same gender attracted people, or if they did know them, they were ignorant to their friend’s struggles. Today almost everyone knows of someone who identifies as lgbtq+ or deals with a measure of same gender attractions. Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of being where he does not personally know of a same gender attracted (SGA) person in his sphere of influence, this ask is of utmost importance in light of the change of our culture and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly talk about their issues. So how does one help a gay-identified buddy or SGA friend?
The first response I typically give to this question is actually another question. “Does your friend know Jesus?” This is a vital first question any believer must tackle before attem
How to Tell My Family and Friends I Am Gay
No matter what your relationship is with your parents or other essential people in your existence, coming out can be nerve-wracking. It is, however, a rite of route and ensures that you do not have to have to spend so much time and passionate energy hiding a giant part of who you are from some of the most important people in your life. Whether you are expecting rejection or acceptance, telling your family and friends about your sexual identity is an important step. Still, many people want to know how to explain my family and friends I am gay. Here are some suggestions to make the process easier:
1. Consider your audience&#;s comfort level when talking about sex.
Sex in general is a taboo topic and sexual orientation falls under the umbrella of sex. Considering your audience&#;s comfort level on this topic will help you resolve how to approach your audience. If you arrange to tell your parents about your sexual culture, just from being raised by these two people you will have an idea about their comfort level when discussing sex-related topics
