It can be difficult for straight men and queer men to be friends. Both sides come to the scene loaded with preconceptions. To some extent, each side fears the other.

On the other hand, the linear guy worries he’ll do something offensive. Maybe he’ll say something homophobic, or maybe he’ll be too careful. He worries he’ll make it obvious that he’s over-thinking the interaction as he tries to come across as chill with... well, whatever it is gays get up to.
With Pride season in full swing across the world, and in the spirit of resolving this dilemma, I’d like to give a few messages with linear men struggling to navigate their dynamic with a gay comrade. A slice of honesty from your friendly neighbourhood queer. Let’s do this.
1. ‘What does a dick in the ass notice like, though?’ is not an acceptable question to ask your homo friend, your homo acquaintance,
