The biggest mistake that you could make is to not hang out with your gay friend only because you have nothing in common. If you cannot find teams for this, however, you can always visit an escape room with your partners and the four of you can indulge in another of the world’s most popular activities nowadays.
It’s also a great exercise that will make you fitter and will pump all the feel-good hormones in your body. This is a very social game, so you will have to find more people to join you, but if each of you chooses a team of his own, it could be an extremely fun and enjoyable activity for both of you. Paintballing is one of the most popular activities nowadays, and the centers for that are springing up all over the world. After all, gays have a great taste in fashion and they can certainly tell you if something fits you well or not. Not only will you spare yourself of your girlfriend’s constant nagging about the things you wear and need, but you will also spare yourself of making a detour and spending three times longer in the shops for female clothing only. If you need to renew your wardrobe, it would be a good idea to leave your girlfriend behind and take your gay friend with you. You can even order meat online so that you don’t have to go out – if you have a barbecue in your yard or balcony, this can be done without even leaving your apartment! These spur of the moment activities always turn out to be the best ones. Make sure that you have all the drinks and ingredients for a nice meal. But, let’s be honest – the gays love organizing parties, so you just have to put it like that. One of the “manly” activities is organizing a barbecue party for your closest friends, so you can definitely pitch this idea to your gay best friend and persuade him into doing it if he’s not in the mood. You can have so much fun while actually being there for your friend, and who knows – maybe someone went out with their female friend and you can also land someone’s phone number. It's embarrassing and disrespectful, reminding them of their struggle to come out.Bromance is all about sharing experiences – you know you would definitely like to share a wild night out with your straight mates, so why not go out with your gay friend once? First of all, you will show how supportive you are of him, and secondly – there are not nights out like gay nights out. Don't say you always "knew they batted for the same team". It makes no difference to your co-worker. And organising a pride march at work must be their decision, not yours." Don't say "I always knew" They will do it in their own time." Nolan adds, "You co-worker may not be ready for a public outing. Dr Patkar says, "They came out because they trust you. Don't tell other co-workers about another's private life. It isn't a big deal." Don't spread the newsĪt the workplace, what people do in their private lives should remain private. It's just the knowledge that they prefer the companionship of the same sex. Nolan Lewis, Mr Gay India and an advocate for gay rights says, "The best reactionis one of indifference. Positively or negatively, overreacting is just not acceptable. That's just a stereotype." (Michael Sam is the first publicly gay American footballer to be drafted in NFL.) DON'Ts Don't overreact Not all gay men have limp wrists and love Jimmy Choo. It does our gay friends no favor to teach a false gospel, that Gods word is not true or is unclear about his sin, as we would likely never do this to our lost. Nolan explains, "Women tend to assume that when a male colleague comes out, he is one of them. Do not prod for details about their sex life." Treat them the same wayĭr Patkar says, "Their sexuality is just one aspect of their life." Don't include or exclude them in discussions based on their sexual orientation. Nolan says, "Ask them questions about their journey because for most gay men and women 'coming out' is a process of self-discovery. Many of us are curious when a co-worker comes out but your questions need to be within boundaries.
