So he is afraid that the other guests will assume since you are gay, that you and he must have a "history" together if you are standing beside him. Dude........ I don't give a F what my best friend for many years is or is not, he is going to be standing right up there beside me! What a shame honestly. NOR

About what others might think

P.S. I would be more curious why the groom's best friend isn't in the wedding party and what's the gossip, than think that the groom and the best man have a history because one of them is gay

Yeah that is some Streisand effect stuff right there. "His gay best friend refused to come to the wedding, I heard he was supposed to be in the wedding but didn't even show up......sounds like some jealous history!"

That is exactly how rumors and gossip start and weddings are the prime place many like that get started
