How to know if my friend is gay

Someone who is coming out feels close enough to you and trusts you sufficiently to be honest and risk losing you as a partner. It can be complex to know what to say and what to do to be a supportive friend to someone who has “come out” to you. Below are some suggestions you may wish to follow.

• Recognize your friend for having the courage to narrate you. Choosing to relate you means that they have a great deal of respect and confide in for you.
• Don’t judge your friend. If you have strong religious or other beliefs about LGBTIQ communitites, keep them to yourself for now. There will be plenty of time in the future for you to think and talk about your beliefs in delicate of your friend’s culture.
• Respect your friend’s confidentiality. Allow them the integrity to share what they want, when and how they want to.
• Tell your ally that you still take care about them, no matter what. Be the acquaintance you have always been. The main fear for people coming out is that their friends and family will reject them.
• Don’t be too serious. Sensitively worded humor may ease the tension you are both probably feeling.
• Ask questions you may have, but understand that your ally
  
  

  Understanding the Situation

  Sexual orientation is a personal matter, and unless your friend explicitly tells you, you can never be 100% sure. However, if you’re wondering whether your friend might be gay, either because you suspect they’re struggling with their identity or you think they might have feelings for you, it’s important to approach the topic with sensitivity and respect.

  Here are some common signs that might indicate your friend is gay and how to navigate the situation without making assumptions or making them uncomfortable.

  1. They Escape Talking About Their Treasure Life

  If your friend dodges conversations about crushes or relationships but is relaxed talking about every other aspect of their existence, it might be because they’re not ready to discuss their sexual orientation.

  Examples:

  • They change the subject when someone asks about their dating life.
  • They rarely refer any romantic interests.
  • They appear uncomfortable when discussing relationships with the opposite gender.

  This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re gay, some people are just private, but if combined with other signs, it might be a clue.

  2. They Show a Strong Interest in Homosexual Topics

  How Do I Help My Gay Friend?

  by D’Ann Davis

  “How do I help my gay friend?”  This is a question we notice constantly in the Living Hope office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world.  Twenty years ago few Christians asked this question, for few knew any same gender attracted people, or if they did know them, they were ignorant to their friend’s struggles.  Today almost everyone knows of someone who identifies as same-sex attracted or deals with a measure of same gender attractions.  Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of experience where he does not personally know of a same gender attracted (SGA) person in his sphere of influence, this doubt is of utmost importance in light of the change of our identity and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly chat about their issues.  So how does one aid a gay-identified friend or SGA friend?

  The first response I typically give to this question is actually another question.  “Does your friend know Jesus?”  This is a vital first question any believer must tackle before attempting to help a friend deal with her sexual attractions.  This is because there are two different ro
