I know my friend is gay, how do I get him to tell me?Ok, so I have this friend. He knows I am gay, but he's in a very small group who do.
I always had my suspicions, and a year or 2 ago I asked him if he was, he said no.
A few days ago, he left his email logged in on my laptop - curiosity killed the cat.
I saw that he had been, lets say trading pictures, with other guys for over a year.
I know I should respect privacy, I just feel a little down that he doesn't feel he can talk to me about something so major that we have in common.

Re: I know my friend is gay, how do I get him to tell me?He clearly isn't comfortable with telling you. Why do you need to read his emails-jees!(Original post by Anonymous)

Re: I know my friend is gay, how do I get him to tell me?Kiss him and see what happens. Find the right time though. Just you two.(Original post by Anonymous)

Re: I know my friend is gay, how do I get him to tell me?See this is what I thought the response would be. In my original post I don't think I made it clear that I think he left the emails for me to find. Literally he logged in for no reason and left them on the screen. If I had been in his shoes and I didn't want them seen, I wouldn't have been so careless.(Original post by UPPSY)
You are so not his friend, oh and reading someone else's e-mail is actually illegal (as a legal person, it technically is)
And we've been best friends for ten years. Far bigger things have interfered before this, so don't judge! -

Re: I know my friend is gay, how do I get him to tell me?Let him tell you in his own time. Even if he left the e-mails open deliberately, he may not want you talking about them, it might have been his way of telling you without making a big announcement.
