I need help!
Ok, there's this guy at my school (i live in Vermont) who everyone thinks is gay. Even though the rumors are most likely not true, no one wants to be his friend because of rumors, and neither do my friends. I really think it's terrible how people treat him, and I want to be his friend; I don't believe sexual orientation should affect friendship. How should I be his friend without making my friends mad, or making him feel uncomfortable when my friends want to hang out with me?

Well you're definately right. Sexual orientation should have nothing to do with who you're friends with. If your friends get mad at you because you want to be his friend, thats a personal problem they have to deal with. Its just the same as if you don't like someone they hang out with and they don't like on of your friends already. Its kind of petty if they're willing to stop being your friend over this also. If this guy who is accused of being gay is really nice, then be his friend. He shouldn't feel uncomfortable around your friends but its understandable if he does. How would you feel if you were in his shoes? Hang out with him by yourself. If you think your friends will like him, tell him he'll be fine, and introduce them. It might just work. Goodluck. -Sarah
