Wow. That's a hell of a great post. I managed to have gay friends since high school. I'm not sure if it started out as a rebellion thing against the conservatives veins that were so overt back when I was a freshman and sophomore, but I really value the friendships I had and have with people who are straight or gay. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in California, where things are relatively more equal for people of the less common sexual orientations.
Seriously good post.
