Gay

This is such a weird feeling. I've never really had friends who were gay, and its not a thing that I think about too much. But it feels so weird when I found out that a guy I'm friends with is gay. Not that I treat him any differently or love him any less, but it's just a weird feeling to know that. I've just never had any gay friends before. I just feel a little awkward.

Just because I believe that God didn't make people gay doesn't mean that I hate people who are gay or that I should treat them any less than I treat other people.

It's just so disconcerting to suddenly find out that a normal guy that you've known is gay. And then to talk about whether he thinks this guy or that guy is cute. I've never had this type of conversation with a guy before. And then he points out my other friend "See that guy over there? Yup, he's gay too. His boyfriend is so and so..." And then we talk about our professor: "Yeah, he's gay. He lives with another guy."

It's a new experience for me. I just feel a little odd.
