Mate makes homosexual comments - should I be worried?

On the other hand it is likely to be BANTER - middle - upper-middle class boys assert their heterosexual credentials by making as much flirtatious gay banter as they can.

Erm, you have clearly never witnessed men who went to boys' schools/private schools/boarding schools.

He could be gay - and?

Mind, they do this with each other. If you don't recognise this behaviour then I don't see why he'd do it.

Ok here is the story:

A close, or pretty much best, mate of mine whom I've known for over 10 years, runs a business. We're both 21 and male. He hires someone who lives locally to help clean the shop etc. This guy is 18 and male. Fairly often, my best mate would make homosexual comments such as "come to the back and we'll..." I don't really wanna type it all out here.

But anyway, I've never really thought anything of it until my other mate mentioned it, and in fact I laugh when he says things like this (and he has said similar comments like this to me). Could he really sway that way? No other man I know makes comments like this.

He could have the highly contagious disease known as 'the gay'. Once it manifests in the brain he will try to rape you, stopping at nothing until he has his way.

That, or you could worry about more important things.

Lol someone has been watching Goodness Gracious Me I think. To the OP - just tell him the comments make you uncomfortable if thats how you feel and that if he doesn't stop, you will force him to look at page 3 of the Sun.

"Come to the back and we'll watch a film" = fine.
"Come to the back and let's have sex" = slightly more of a giveaway.

And what if he is gay? Why are you worried? If you think he'll automatically fancy you - don't flatter yourself. And even if he does, that's his problem, not yours. He's not gonna rape you.

I find it a touch naive for people to so blatantly say "so what if hes gay?" or "worry about more important things". No, I don't have a problem with homosexuals.. but it is a big deal coming out of the closet. If I found out my best mate was homosexual, i'd be shocked... and i'd need a bit of time to get over the fact. Its not as easy or as "so what?" as people make it seem!

But to the OP, I would imagine its just a bit of banter. If it keeps going on and you're getting worried... just jokingly (or not) confront him. If hes a close mate of yours you should be fine with speaking to him...
