A friend

If you had an friend that you found out s/he was * and never told you would you?

A. fall out with her/him becasue they didn't tell you sooner
B. carry on like normal
C. carry on being friend but see/talk to them less

Do you mean batting for the other side?
If so I would carry on as normal perhaps an embarrassment for them so wouldn't do to get funny about it  

I'd carry on as normal it's sometimes difficult to share these things as people are often afraid of reactions

Wouldn't bother me x

It would be C. for me being friend you should be able to share just about everything with me well in my IMO

well it also depends how long your friendship has been if you only be friend for 3/4 months i wouldn't be bother but if it was 3/4 years then i would have an problem

It actually did happen to me and it didn't bother me

it wouldn't bother me if he or she was * it be the fact they wouldn't share it with me would be the problem. it would tell me we are not that really close.

B. Being friends doesn't mean that they have to tell you every detail of their lives, particularly about something very personal and possibly distressing. A friend should never feel pressured into telling somebody something that they're not comfortable with sharing.

in your opinion

Obviously. Can only answer with my opinion.

IMO an friend to me is someone you can talk too share things with you just wouldn't do with just with any tom * or harry

i knew plenty of people but i wouldn't class them as an friend they be an acquaintance

I would be very disappointed that they didn't feel they could tell me but I don't think it would stop me being friends with them.

yea i would still be their friend just not has close then before....

Depends how many times he had kissed me at xmas  

Woah not at all! My mums a * has been with her partner since I was 9.. I've seen the problems that she had coming out and kept it a secret for her until she was ready when I was 17! She had a very religious boss who "disagreed" with it and made her life hell, so she kept it quiet for a very long time. It's so hard when people are so bloody small minded, I don't blame anyone for not coming out until they're ready! My friends know I like boys and girls and I don't care who else does either, but I don't really care what anybody thinks of me so it's easy for me to say that lol!!

Haha why does l e s b I a n get blocked its not a swear word!

We talking about close friendships here..... if you cant tell an close friend that your * then you not really an close friend sre you.....

that why i would have to pick B i would still be their friend but i would have to see them less and talk to them less

My best friend of 9 years is also * and didn't tell me for 8 of those years! Don't think he's any less of a friend in the slightest, he trusts me implicitly just wasn't confident in his feelings at the time and was scared!

well we all different

Most definitely

i think i like having people around me a bit like myself  and prolly why i dont have many close friends  

   

trust ,honour, respect, loyalty, truth

A good friend of mine "came out" in work years ago.
He said afterwards that he was sweating as it was an office full of banter and "alpha males" (lol).

The only person who had a problem with it was a closed-minded secretary who treated him like a leper when she found out.

When he told me, I was surprised but just said: "Don't worry mate, you'll grow out of it."  

LMAO - I have no idea why I replied with that - was all I could think of at the time.

TBH, I couldn't care less if friends of mine are g a y, or l e s b i a n or whatever.

me two... we all different i wouldn't have an problem with it at but going years without telling me i would have an problem and probably kill the close friend status but they would still be an friend
