good news, and unsure news

So, I recently came out to my bestfriend as bisexual, turns out, she is too! So that went really well. I needed the first person to be accepting, and she obviously was. BUT, my best guy friend is gay, and i feel like i should tell him, but he acts like hes the only person that can like the same sex in any way. He keeps making these comments like "i dont want the straight to rub off on me" and that makes me angry and want to just scream it at him. I went to the first GSA club meeting at our school, and told him he should come too, and he was like "You shouldn't even be in here." WTF?! Also, I feel like he's one of those people who hates bisexuals, does that make sense? the people who say "its just a cover" or "you can only like one or the other, there is no such thing as being bi." I mean maybe I am just a lesbian and the only reason I think some boys are cute is because i know thats what i'm supposed to think. I dont though, I like girls, I know that, and i like guys too. so what do I do about my friend?

Hey Di!

Yes, there is a lot of hatred towards bisexuals in the LGBT community and there really isn't anything you can do, and just hope your guy friend will accept you.

As for his comment on the GSA, its called Gay Straight Alliance. Where straight supports go to help gays, but give him time and dont feel pressured to come out right away. Explain to him what I just said about GSA and go from there.

Hope this helps and PM me if ya need anything!

Chase,

Thank you sooo much for your reply! He can be pretty judgmental :/. I dont really feel like telling him. but at the same time, I want to be honest in the club, I think if i share that in the club, then he'd feel mad that I didn't tell him before that. The club is more like LGBTQS Alliance, but they just havent changed the name yet. I just dont know.

You have to do what you think is best.
What is more important to you?
There is plenty of time to tell him at a later date if that is what you feel is best.
You can choose who you tell and when depending on what you are comfortable with!
From what you said it sounds like you invited him to the GSA and he doesn't normally go? If that is the case you could encourage him not to go but continue to go yourself, that way you can be honest!

Personally, I think you should take it steady. Once you've told him there's no going back and if you think it could wreck a friendship it might not be for the best. But you sound like you don't want to tell him and if you don't that is great, but if you feel you need to be honest, that is great too!
PM me if you need anything at all!

Di,

They may not change the name. I know a local high school had a GSA here and they called it Spectrum, forgot what each letter stood for.

Most people just keep it GSA because it is easily recognized, but brain storm and thinking of ideas, i know kids your age can get really creative!
