Imagine having a friend who constantly makes inappropriate comments about you, and everyone around you just laughs it off as a joke. Sounds uncomfortable, right? Well, that’s exactly the situation one man found himself in. His girlfriend’s friend, John, who happens to be gay, had a knack for making off-color remarks about him. But when the jokes started hinting at his own sexuality, he decided enough was enough. Let’s dive into this tale of boundaries, respect, and the fine line between humor and harassment.

Remember, no matter where you stand on the issue, it’s all about respect and understanding.

“NTA

I bet your girlfriend wouldn’t be laughing if one of her girlfriends offered to f**k you or asked you about your penis. Then it would be ‘oh my God my friend is flirting with my boyfriend!’ followed by insecurity. Regardless, he was asked to stop and carried on. That’s sexual harassment, end of discussion. People would be outraged if he behaved that way with a woman, that shouldn’t change because he’s doing it to a man.”
