Would you treat your best friend any differently if he came out as gay?

Wow, this thread is encouraging. I've yet to come out the closet (to non-internet people) so it's nice to know that most of you wouldn't give a fuck about it.
Oh and to the people who say stuff like "no, unless he started acting all flamboyant and effeminate", you're being a little dense. If someone had the capacity to act like that, chances are that they would even before coming out of the closet and you wouldn't be friends with them. It's not like people would suddenly change massively. It would be exhausting to act like someone you're not constantly, even if you're trying to keep your sexuality a secret. (believe me, I know)

How are they being dense? I know of a lot of people that suddenly entirely changed who they were as soon as they came out of the closet. It was fucking weird, and I didn't like the person anymore. Not because of their sexual orientation, but the stigma behind being at ease with it, I suppose. It was weird as shit.

You honestly mean they started acting completely differently to how they did when they were in the closet?

i hate flamboyant people, there is no reason to act that way or go on pride parades flaunting orientation (because it is nobody's business)

but what did you mean by the bold part? because I don't see a problem with someone being casually gay (in the same way that most are casually straight)

I'd make really offensive jokes all day, but apart from that no.

I'd probably try and make out with him
