YO! Peep the story...
Let me start off with the typical, "It don't matter to me." In fact, my godfather was a gay man so I've never been all that uncomfortablewith homosexuality. This particular homeboy of mine I've known for close to 6 years. I consider him my brother (for a number of reasons); but I had mydoubts the moment I met him. But we chopped it up - he said he wasn't gay. As far as I was concerned, he wasn't gay. I even called a few chics outtheir name for questioning his manhood.
Two days ago though, he decided to write a note on facebook about his current relationship and tag a few of us(homies from undergrad). So the past 2 days have been filled with a bunch of phone calls and text messages regarding the "situation."
Here's the issue:
Another homeboy of ours is getting married on April 4th. This particular dude (the gay guy) is the Best Man. The chic which he last had a relationship is aclose friend of the bride and will no doubt be in attendance. Homie is planning on bringing his partner. The feeling I'm getting from the Groom (and ourother homeboys) is why would he choose now to make such an announcement?
I plan on having a chat with him soon - after the initial "shock" rides out - and I'm wondering how I should address all of this. I already senthim a few messages giving him my support. Long as you happy, then I'm happy. Right? But should I question his timing? I definitely don't feellike it'd be fair for there to be attention paid to his sexual orientation on our other homie's wedding day. Should I mention any of the things thatour other friends are saying about him? Should I allow him to come down here and deal with whispers from the rest of the crew?
It's all bad, g.
