Hey i have a gay friend and lately he's been going through this depressive state about being lonely and only every liking guys that are straight. He seems so sad about it all the time and i just wish i could understand exactly how he feels. I want to support him but don't know what the best thing i could do is to make him feel better and let him know that im here if he needs me. Any ideas? I just want him to be happy cus hes one of my best friends and he is a fantastic person.

Sometimes gay men only like the straight men because they are unatainable and it spares them from getting hurt. However, they end up hurting even more in the long run. Maybe look for some groups for the both of you to join together such as PFLAG or any other gay/lesbian and their supporters groups in your area. If your friend is young and is just coming out, or hasn't come out for that matter, it can be a difficult road. Despite the homophobic tendancies of some people, we are the biggest critics of ourselves and if your friend doesn't have the support of family and the like, it can make for a very depressing time. Take him out to meet people, get involved in the gay community. Things will start looking up for him and you'll be rewarded with a great friendship. Hang in there and keep being a true friend for him as you have been doing.
