This question was lingering in me for quite sometime. It was probably the most difficult question next to Calculus and Medicine. Let’s say one of your friends is gay, and he has chosen to fall in love with a girl all of a sudden. I mean, that was not an instant decision. He had to go through a series of what ifs and whys and whatnot; it was difficult for him. Moreover, he’s fed up having short-term relationships with guys—knowing that his parents are not capable of accepting their child’s sexual preference.

Right now, he seems to enjoy the girl’s company. He likes this girl so much, they end up chatting every night, talking on the phone, teasing and whatever they can come up with; things that a couple would actually do.

And if you were having a serious conversation with your “gay” friend, would you believe on what he has told you?

If I were in that position, I’d absolutely believe my friend since I couldn’t find anything wrong with falling in love with the opposite sex, when one is seriously “gay”. I mean, c’mon! People change, their decisions change, their perspectives change. Let us respect one’s opinion and point-of-view. I’m pretty sure your friend would find it offensive spewing words like, “Ah, sus! Kakainin mo rin yang mga sinabi mo. / Yeah right! You’ll be eating your words soon enough.”

Those harsh words could easily mar your friend’s heart. Instead of discouraging him that falling in love with the opposite sex would not perfectly work out, why not support him just the way you supported him when he first fell in love with a guy. Sooner or later, he’ll be thanking you for supporting him in his unbelievable, if not ironic, situation once he gets married and have wonderful kids.

To answer the question stated above, I’d say “No”. It is never impossible for a person to believe the unbelievable—most especially if you have quite made a very good foundation of your relationship with your friend.
