Ever wish you had a gay friend other than your partner you could talk to about relationships, intimacy, flirting etc with the same sex?

Other than my girlfriend I have no lesbian friends! How many of you are lucky to have one/wish you did?

I'm lucky in that I have at least four friends who are gay, a friend who's lesbian and at leas three who are bisexual.

All of my non-straight friends have crushes on me.

Lucky me. *note sarcasm*

I have a bisexual friend, luckily other than finding the same person attractive, it's not awkward in that way of us liking each other. I also have someone from centauri (-arts camp.), so a few.

I have several friends in the lgbtq community. I go to a university that has a glbtq centre. It is both a social and safe place for queer and trans identified individuals. If you go to a high school, perhaps join a gsa or create your own. Their are also centres for queer identified youth in the community. Just search online in your area.

I have a few, strangely most of them are exs that I somehow managed to stay friends with.

I have two really close gay friends and a whole bunch of other ones. It makes no real difference as far as I've found.

There's only one non-straight friend that I would consider a friend. Most of the others want to be my friend, but have a hidden agenda. Honestly, I don't trust most gay guys who want to be my friend, because time and time again they reveal their lewd intentions halfway through.
I am strong because I know weakness.• I am compassionate because I have experienced suffering. •I am alive because I am a fighter.• I am wise because I have been foolish.• I can laugh because I have known sadness.• I can love because I have known loss

I have a few gay friends (several more I recently added to the list because of this website Emoticon: Smile :)) that I definitely am very thankful for. Everybody has been such a blessing that I've met and I'm just so thankful that I've met all these people. Actually, my best friend is bi and then several other people I know in real life are LGBs (I don't know any real life Ts sorry guys) that I'm on friendly terms with. All my other LGBT friends come from here and this website. Like Lexhibitionist (Lex) I would like to say I'm pretty close to. He's like a really awesome friend but kinda like a brother but then kinda not at all because he's too crazy to be a brother... Lol so he's just definitely a good friend of mine to be sure. Then here are others on QAlike Sarah and Grace and Armando and Chris that I've known for awhile and they're all cool people and then some people I'm just getting to know like Anne so I'm making lots of friends Emoticon: Grin :D yay friends!!!
Oh and as far as if I consider them helpful and such. I would say very much so being as I haven't officially come out yet (I'm getting there but it's a slow process) they're definitely a good support line. So I'm grateful for them being around and understanding my feelings and everything.

My only not-100%-straight guy friend I have is someone who I had a sort of thing with when I was still in the closet, which lasted about 1 or 2 months.

Other than that, every other gay guy I've met has either been:
a) Older than me (which I wouldn't like)
b) Younger than me (which I also wouldn't like)

and all 3 times have tried to enter a relationship with me (which, like I said, I wouldn't like. I want someone MY age D: ) then never spoken to me again when I wasn't interested.

So, yeah. Kinda jealous of all you guys who're like "Oh, I have a few non-straight-guy friends". You're the lucky ones! xD

I wish I had some gay friends. All the gay people i've come across around here seem so unapproachable though... And what am I gonna say? "Hey are you gay? Yea? Lets be buddies!" Emoticon: Smile :)

Yeah, I wish I had gay or lesbian friends Emoticon: Sad :( Ideally someone as funny like Kurt haha but any would do, so long as they're not too effeminate or obnoxious.

I have a few lesbian friends. Any gay guys that I meet in close vicinity (there aren't a whole lot) seem to become attracted to me and it creeps me out when someone is attracted to me and I'm not attracted to them. Every gay guy that I meet in person seems to be really desperate due to the fact that there aren't many around...

I really wish I knew lesbians, other than my (sort-of) girlfriend. I just don't feel comfortable talking to the other lesbians in my school, mostly because it's like they're married to their girlfriends, and I feel awkward around them. Also my gay-dar isn't as sensitive as others, so unless they are really embracing their stereotypes, I wouldn't know if they were gay. But I really would like to be able to talk about girls with someone other than my guy friends, and I feel awkward talking about girls with my straight girl friends.
