That situation is terrible. I have never personally encountered such hatred. Though I am straight, a whole lot of my friends are bi (and a few are lesbians), and none of them has ever had to put up with this kind of abuse at home, or even at school. Maybe this is because they tend to stick together, but DAMN. I had no idea it was that bad for so many. Guess I'll be more sympathetic now, but I'm still using **** as a derogatory term. Why? Because even the homosexual folks I know in real life use it in that way. Of course, they are also stoner punks. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

A large portion of America doesn’t like **** people, and I can see where they are coming from sometimes.
I think the problem is when these people think about homosexuals they automatically jump to the extreme such as the **** Pride parade. These people annoy me too and anyone who knows where I stand knows I have no problem with ***.
I can only imagine the uproar that would be created if people tried to have a Straight Pride parade.
Just because I don’t care about some random kid whom I don’t even know exists dose not mean I have nothing to say on the subject of homosexuality.

I found out this summer that one oldest friends was a homosexual. To most people it wasn't a surprise he was kinda the femi-kid in school. I was surprised even though my better instincts told me I shouldn't be. As for things between us, nothing has changed really, he's still the same old Scott that he's ever been ("Except now he watches a different type of porn", yep there's your Big Daddy reference for this thread). It took his devout Catholic parents time to accept it but they have, I really doubt they went to the lengths that your friend's **** of a mom seems to be going, but yeah the whole parent thing isn't an easy factor. Just be a good friend, don't let things change between you, you weren't a homosexual or attracted to him before or now so there really shouldn't be any kind of change in your social dealings with him. That's the advice I can give, hope it helps.

The reason why a 'straight pride' parade would be concidered to be in bad taste is that it would be viewed as anti g4y.
g4y pride is not anti straight, just pro g4y.
Kinda like a 'white pride' gathering generaly conotate klan activity.
meh, I still think you should just sit down and talk with the dude.
tell him you know he is ****, and that you don't give a rats arse about his sexual orientation.
just that he is your friend.
and yus, yall that wana flame/be anoying. Take it to discussion.
BulletHead, regardless of if your friend is under 18 or not he's in danger by staying at that house. I mean what if his mom gets really, really mad? That could turn into a life threatening situation. :(
If he has nowhere to go, perhaps you can find a friend who can accomodate him if you cannot. He needs somewhere else to stay asap.
And as far as how to tell him that you know and etc. I think you should listen to the people who've already posted that have firsthand experience on the matter (either on the giving or recieving end) as they have the best viewpoint.

While scientific evidence exists to prove that *** are different then straights psychologically, I'm pretty sure the theory that someone can truly be bisexual has been shot down, not withstanding transgender cases.
