I can't tell you how you should feel about this guy, but it is this psychobabbler's oppinion that if he can't accept you as you are, he is not really your friend. I don't think it's devious to feel him out on his attitudes without outing yourself. If the world were a just place, you would have no worries, but, without being too much of a pessimist, people aren't always as tolerant as they should be, and you don't need a lot of grief right now. I think some day you will have left the closet happily behind you, but there's no hurry. Take care of yourself.
