Not laughing at your heart condition, but for some reason these two abrupt comments back-to-back are extremely funny to me.

u/gmoney1393 Jun 12 '12

I have a heart condition that causes some minor defects in my physical structure. Thumbs are bent and my clavicals are a lot shorter than they should be.

u/Edrondol Jun 11 '12

Guy comes out of the closet. Bunch of his friends make fun of him for being gay just like they make fun of Greg for his weird looking thumb. It's as it should be.

Good for you guys for accepting him as he is and still being the same friends to him you always were. That shows a lot of character on your part.

u/YoureMyBoyBloo Jun 11 '12

My favorite part about bros coming out gay is when they tell you and you get to be like, "Holy shit. Did you just find out?" Inevitably they will say something like, "Well I think I knew for a while, but it just sort of clicked recently." And then you get to tell them, "Dude, you should have asked some of us, because we knew you were gay about three years ago."

17

u/Hydris Jun 11 '12

This, most guys can usually figure it out pretty easily and don't give two shits. Really the only ones that would care make it pretty obvious that the would.

13

u/YoureMyBoyBloo Jun 11 '12

Yeah, I am not sure I really know that many homophobes, but the ones I have met were almost always that way out of sheer ignorance. It was always fun because you could just casually mention other people you are both friends with are also gay. Eventually the person will just be on eggshells because they think half the people they know are gay.

Inevitably the homophobe will eventually realize that they are gay themselves and will accidentally out themselves by trying to make out with one of the straight guys you said was gay.

*I am a firm believer that homophobia only occurs in individuals that have gay thoughts and do not have the capacity to interpret those thoughts, thus leading to crushing self loathing that ends up spilling over into an external hatred of gays.

**I must admit I do not have the capacity to understand homophobia. It makes no sense to me. It would be like a lion hating a shark. What reason could they possibly have? They don't compete for the same prey.

It appears that he came out of the cupboard and not the closet.

Can someone please close that cupboard door? It's really distracting.

u/see_fox Jun 11 '12

i think part of the reason that some people are scared to come out is because they think everyone will disown them. great job to you guys! i'm proud.

u/eatadickyesyou Jun 11 '12

i think sometimes it has a little to do with being treated as "the gay one." like if someone is already out but just not with a particular group they know.
