friends help: Not so funny joke about orientation. - Help.com

Not so funny joke about orientation.

So, about 2 weeks ago, I came out as bi to my friends and they appear to be cool with everything. There hasn’t been any talk about that since coming out. Last night, myself and two others were shooting the breeze, and one friend calls the other “******. That’s gay. that’s gay! That’s right.” for doing something or the other.

While it wasn’t directed at me, I actually felt uncomfortable, and I smiled for a few moments before I put out my cig and went back inside.

Maybe I just put too much thought into it for no reason, but just trying to figure out what the whole point of that insensitive comment was.

You’re thinking too much into it. Just let it go. Like Hazel said:

I don’t think they meant anything by it. They were just being insensitive.

Happened to me some weeks ago, when I came out.
You’ll have to deal with it for the first days but you’ll get over it.
Well, not get over, get used to it =P

Cya, anything just give me a shout.
