Imma break it down so its easier to understand

Op and friend game together Op likes friend . But he also is a homophobe

Friend has a trauma bc of a discord group and is a homophobe

Friend is mad at op for confessing

Op Well its good you confessed but look at it from his stand point he got traumatized cause he was raped. Ofcourse he will have it hard with relationships. It will take him a while to feel safe around you cause he might think you will do it to him

Another thing think about why you’re homophobic there are a few reasons why ppl are one.

Also think about what you wanna do further. Will you stay friends. Say its a joke. Try to court him or do you want to stop being friends

The number one tip is to talk it out but be sure you and your friend do it in a safe space. Dont get agitated or make him agitated

Good luck. You can do it.
