Ask Jilda

Dear Jilda,

I am a heterosexual guy. I love people and can make friends with anyone whom is caring, honest and funny. I have many gay friends who fall in these categories and I enjoy their company very much. Unfortunately there are other people and friends in my life who cannot accept or fathom this. What do I do?

Dear Joey,

You sound very sensitive, smart, and opened minded. You have a lot of the right insights and criteria for choosing a good friend. It seems to me these people who judge you and your friends fail by your good measure. Anyone who can judge or not accept a wonderful, kind, caring person into their life based on sexual preference may have an identity issue themselves. They may not be the right fit for your kind, loving, non judgmental world. My advice to you is to stand by those who make you happy, feel good and true to yourself.
