I’m curious about how other men handle a shift in a friendship dynamic when you find out someone is gay after knowing them for a while. Earlier this year, I moved in with a straight roommate. We got along great, watched movies, hung out constantly, and I just assumed he knew I was gay or would figure it out. Last month, a mutual friend mentioned it casually while we were out, and I noticed my roommate’s vibe changed instantly. He’s been pretty distant and awkward since that night, which surprised me because I thought we were cool. Have any of you been in a situation where a close guy friend or roommate came out (or you just found out), and did it actually make you feel awkward or “threatened” in some way? Was it a shock to the system, or did you not care? I’m trying to understand the other side of this shift. submitted by /u/abcdefvckvu
