Gay and straight guy

“We fell into each other’s arms because of our similarities in our career and because of our age and because we fond of the same sort of things.” This quote could quite likely be the beginning of a wonderful romance story, but instead, it is a quote about friendship delivered toThe Huffington Post by Sir Ian McKellen about his decade’s long friendship with Sir Patrick Stewart.
The two men first came to know each other well on the set of the first X-Men clip in 1999, and although the duo played adversaries on the silver screen, offscreen, they were developing a block friendship. On the set, the two men had adjoining trailers, where they spent more hour getting to comprehend each other than in front of the camera. By the end of filming, they had discovered how much they had in common, and to this day, they share one of Hollywood’s most well-known friendships.
Both actors are often photographed together doing mundane things, such as walking a boardwalk while deep in conversation. Perhaps one of the reasons their friendship has drawn so much famous attention is the duality of their sexual identitie

I recently accepted that I am gay. It has been rough for a variety of reasons, including fear that straight guys will think I am a freak. I wonder what straight guys really reflect about gay guys. Do you wonder why the hell we aren’t attracted to women? Perform you think we turned our wrong? Do you find us disgusting? If I promise you it won’t hurt my feelings, do you guys feel content telling me what you really think of guys who are gay?

Congratulations. It took me a long time to appear to terms with my retain sexuality.

I recently finished reading Dr. Robert Garfield’s terrific recent book, Breaking the Male Code: Unlocking the Force of Friendship, and last week participated in a joint interview with him by Dr. Dan Gottlieb on WHYY (National Widespread Radio) in Philadelphia. This all got me thinking about my own friendships and those of my gay male clients. The bonds between gay men and straight women contain been written about and featured in popular media (i.e. Sex in the City, Will and Grace), though a lot less has been said about how gay and vertical men recognize and negotiate the distinct challenges, complications, and rewards of their friendships.

According to Garfield, among the many obstacles to male-male platonic attachment, fear of homosexuality looms large. Straight men fret that if they acquire too close, others will see them as gay; which in their minds means feminine (horrors!), fragile, and perverted. Perhaps even scarier is that their emotional connections will somehow morph into sexual attraction. Interestingly, in the U.S., before there was such a thing as a gay identity, some vertical men would, with minute shame, engage in sexual contact with other men (usually allo
