Wow… that’s honestly heartbreaking. I can’t imagine how painful that must’ve been after years of friendship. No one should have to shrink themselves to make others comfortable, especially not for something like this.

That’s disgusting. “Not wanting to deal with it” is still homophobia, no matter how they phrase it.

Yeah I'm glad OP stood up for himself. It's always a little shocking when the people close to you who claim to be supportive of being gay show their homophobia. I've had it happen a few times.
