writes: Im very confused about my friend. The thing is I'm 100% in love with him, but he talks about how much he hates gays and doesn't like being around them. I'm not really sure though, I've sat next to him and layed on his shoulder and vice versa, I've held his hand for a brief moment walking home from school before also. This happens sometimes when theres no one around, but lately in school he just avoids me. Maybe because I've been getting picked on lately and he doesnt want to hang out with me? Text limit is up

There are two utterly diametrically opposed possibilities here:
1) He is homophobic and messing with you or
2) He is still very far in the closet and struggling with his own sexuality, making his confusion and self-hate come out on other gay males.
It definitely seems like the second, and if you are at all out he may be afraid to be associated and have to face what he truly feels (about men in general, not necessarily you). I would allow him plenty of space, and wait for him to either come back to you or one of you to move on.
