I'm not personally gay so I can't understand completely, but that sounds like a really hard thing to do.

On a related note, I have a friend who I have thought might be bisexual or gay for quite some time (there's been a number of signs that I don't need to talk about in detail here). My first thought is that I know his sexuality is none of my business but I'm wondering if there is anything a friend can do to go about discussing it in a helpful/supportive way without offending the friend.

you got to ease the topic into some conversation and let it go from there

dynam0: man friend that was an intense sm session right?
friend: haha yeah you really nailed those patterns
dynam0: yeah man kind of like how gay dudes nail other gay dudes in the ass!
friend: hey bro can i tell you something
dynam0 yeah man whats up?
friend: hypothetically speaking would you care if i was bisexual or maybe even gay?
dynam0: bro we shower together after sm sessions all the time and i'll still shower with you even if you are gay or w/e thats your thing just dont try to ram my ass HAHAHA
friend: thanks man
dynam0: no problem man
