If you sense somebody is gay. Do you do anything to them socially that might hurt them, discriminate against them, block them from interaction with others or from success at work, or create negativity around them?
A straight poster yesterday said he likes to tease gay men to get their hopes up and then break their hearts by telling them he isn't interested, he said he liked to do this because he hates gays so much.
Who else does this type of behavior and why is there hate? What is the purpose of discrimination or hurting people that are different mentally? Do you not see it as sociopathic or unethical or very wrong?
Nope, I don't care if someone's gay. I don't talk about sex stuff with coworkers anyway so it doesn't come up.

I wonder if he hates gays even more than he loves girls. A normal straight guy wants to invest time with girls, or his only girl, and ignores gays.
Unfortunately, there are many people who don't get to know a lot of gay guys, either because the opportunities don't present themselves, or they simply want to avoid gays to begin with.
No wonder gays are hard to get to know. They only make up as little as 2% of the population. And of that number, many don't wan't to come out as gay and lose a lot of friends and family members. It is not worth it, unless, perhaps, one has found a partner to be devoted to and marry.
Most gay people don't announce to the world that they're gay, but when you work with people or socialize with almost anyone, it usually isn't more than a few minutes before someone mentions a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband, a wife, etc. That's the point at which a gay person has to decide: Do I tell them, or do I pretend that I'm asexual?
I hear ya, though, and I'm glad it's not an issue for you.
If you're hot looking and charming, they can't help but wonder about your love life. If you're homely, like me, they're not going to ask to share in your love life, because they assume you don't have one.
Same short answer. Worked with a gay guy in a city government. Very competent individual. Knew his stuff and was always very helpful and good natured. Just a good and decent guy to spend time with (both professionally and after hours).
When I first started adventure racing I raced as part of a three woman team. When I first met them, my two team-mates were both married and had small children. I had known them for three years when I spent a weekend in Nashville with them. It was a training weekend (actually a training all day, eating and drinking all evening weekend ) and they broke it to me that they were gay and now together as a romantic couple.
Holy Cow!! Talk about being caught off guard. I knew that neither of them had been particularly happy in their respective marriages, but that was a pretty common condition among many couples I knew at the time (unfortunately). Apparently one woman broke up with her husband. The second woman invited the first woman into the marriage bed to try and spice up her ailing marriage. It turned out that the two women had a better time than the husband did, and the rest (as they say) is history.
They had been together for a couple of months when they finally told me, and when I asked them why it took so long they told me that they had been afraid of how I would react. I was surprised but I had known these two women for over three years at that point - we had been through a lot together out on race courses all over the SE and I liked them very much. I didn't care. As long as they were happy (and their kids were happy) it was all good.
The only time it felt weird was when we walked into a huge sex shop together one day after eating at a restaurant. I hadn't given the "sex part" a whole lot of thought, but as soon as I walked in I instantly realized that I was OK with them being together but I didn't want to know the details. I turned to look at them and said "I'll go this way - you go that way".
Love is hard to find nowadays and I am no-one to tell anyone who they can and can't love. I just want to be around caring, friendly, considerate, decent people who just quietly live their own lives and let me do the same in peace.

I think gay people are more than 2%. My guess is somewhere between 5 and 10% if you include bisexual people.
I treat those who identify as gay the same as I would treat anyone else. I don't agree with the lifestyle but they still are human and deserves to be treated with dignity.

Women.
A woman's status is determined by the men she is too hot to ****.
Your friend is just playing a female game.
