Am I (23M) being homophobic towards my roommate (24M)?
[Relationships]
Hey! First time posting here so I think I should give some context about myself: I’m a really open guy, I don’t like judging nor discriminating against people and I think it’s extremely uncool to do so! I think everyone has their interests and as long as it ain’t hurting anyone, it’s fine. I feel the same about sexual orientation – as long as there’s consent then alright, no harm done. I’m straight, but I get along with people with other preferences, and they’re some of the coolest people I know. So now that I’m acting like a jerk to my roommate, this is kinda coming out of left field for me.
I’ve been roommates with this guy (let’s call him LF) for a year. From the start, he already let me know that he’s gay, and I was like yeah, sure, no problem dude. He moved in and eventually we ended up pretty close, to the point where sometimes he’d flirt with me and I’ll gush or flirt back haha. I’m not insecure with my masculinity, so this has never been an issue for me. Actually, the banter is sometimes even fun, I enjoy it a lot!
Anyway, I’ve never had any major problems with him before. We’re both stubborn so sometimes we butt heads, but our fights never lasted long and they never involved personal things like sexual orientation. I’m aware that LF is a sexually active guy but I don’t particularly care since it’s really none of my business. Maybe it would be an issue if he brings his partners home and they make too much noise, but he’s considerate enough to take steps to avoid that. And anyway, if that were it, then it’d make sense why I’d feel this way. But that’s the thing – I’d just see him hanging out with his partner and I’d feel disgusted seeing them together. One time, I accidentally saw them kiss at the doorway of our shared apartment (it wasn’t even, like, a make-out kiss. It was just a peck on the lips) and I felt like throwing up. I had to stay outside for a bit just to calm myself down, and even then I couldn’t bear to look at his face.
I was thinking that it might be because I’ve never had stuff like this so close before, but I don’t get like this when I see my other gay or queer friends do PDA (it’s way more than what I’ve seen LF do with his partners, which is weird ‘cause I don’t feel grossed out at all). There’s nothing wrong with LF’s partners either, from what I know. He’s a capable guy and knows to not take shit from anyone, so I’m 101% sure that whoever he’s seeing isn’t a jerk otherwise he would have kicked their asses decades ago. We might even turn out to be friends, but I never even get to talk to them. Not ‘cause LF tries to hide them from me, it’s more like seeing them reminds me of them and LF together, so I get super uncomfortable and just end up avoiding them altogether.
Other than that, my relationship with LF is pretty casual and we’re still close friends. I think he’s starting to notice though? And it’s making me feel like such a huge dickhead :( I’ve tried to not be rude at least to whoever he’s seeing at the time, but there was this one guy I was really shitty to. He wasn’t even bad or anything – he smiled at me and was super polite, but I blew him off and was basically a giant jerk. He ignored it (thank god), but LF was extremely pissed at me afterwards. He confronted me about it and asked me what my problem was with him and his partners, and when I denied it, he just got angrier. It turned into a huge fight, to the point where he even brought up how when I was bringing this girl over, he never said anything about it (she was only a fling, we were dating on and off for a month then ultimately decided to break it off since we couldn’t see dating each other long-term). But I mean, he had a point, right? So I admitted it, said sorry, I was probably just having a bad day (work was more eventful then so I probably smelled like shit and soot too), and that I didn’t care who he chooses to sleep with. Somehow this just made him more upset, to the point where he packed up his stuff to sleep at a friend’s place for the night. I kind of have a shitty brain to mouth filter, so I ended up asking him if he was going to stay at his partner’s place specifically, but he just gave me this weird look and said something like “you said you didn’t care who I slept with, right?” then left. That was the worst night of my life, I couldn’t sleep at all.
It’s been some time since that fight and now we’re cool again. We’re in this weird limbo where we both pretend nothing happened, but I’m worried that I’ll mess it up. I’m not really known for keeping calm or being able to hide my emotions so I’m sure we’ll argue about this again soon, especially now that he’s already dating someone new. He means a lot to me as a friend and I’d hate not having him around, honestly. He’s a great guy, pretty tough, but I know that if he knew I felt disgusted whenever I see him with other guys, he’ll be really hurt and disappointed. I’ve never acted this way before and I always thought I wasn’t homophobic, but I sure as hell am not showing it in my actions. What makes it worse is that I only act this way when it involves him. I want to get over myself and stop acting this way, but I don’t know how to bring it up with him or how to fix it myself. If I keep going like this, I’ll likely drive him off, and I’d hate for that to happen since he’s become really important to me.
tl;dr My roommate is gay and it’s never been a problem until recently and now seeing him with all these other guys is making me act like a dick. How do I deal with this and stop being a shitty friend?

Oh boy, how do I break this to you...
Are you sure this only happens around your roommate? You’re sure you have never felt this way toward your other gay friends, even in the past?
Follow up question: are you sure you’re not gay? Or bisexual, or at least a little bicurious?

Yeah!!! My other gay friends aren’t shy about PDA and I’ve never felt like this when I’d see them kiss and stuff.
I’m fairly sure? I’ve only had girlfriends so far, personally I’ve never been interested in guys.
Kakusinning 4 minutes ago
Are you sure that what you’re feeling isn’t jealousy? It’s strange that this only seems to involve your roommate.
EATMYBURNINGSOUL 4 minutes ago
You know what, I thought about that! But we’re both open about our sex lives and we’ve never been shy about it. Sure, he’s definitely more active than I am, but – not to brag – it’s not like it’s hard for me to find partners of my own. Jealousy doesn’t really seem to explain why seeing him with his partners (even if they aren’t doing anything explicit) kinda makes me want to vomit

Galo
[2:02 PM] Hey are u done with work?
Lio
Good afternoon to you too, dear roommate. [2:04 PM]
Yes, I am, in fact, done with work. Just left the building, actually. [2:04 PM]
Why? [2:04 PM]
Galo
[2:05 PM] Great!!!
[2:05 PM] We’re out of mozzarella and I was hoping you could pass by the grocery and pick some up
[2:06 PM] Garlic powder too, now that I think about it
[2:06 PM] That okay?
Lio
Hm. [2:07 PM]
And what do I get out of it? [2:08 PM]
Galo
[2:08 PM] The most AMAZING pizza in the world, of course!
Lio
Pizzamepolis is on the opposite way home. [2:08 PM]
Galo
[2:09 PM] EVEN BETTER than Pizzamepolis!!!
Lio
That’s a pretty bold claim. This pizza better be worth it. [2:09 PM]
Let me just say bye to Noah real quick and I’ll get to it. [2:10 PM]
Galo
[2:11 PM] Oh
[2:11 PM] Uh
[2:11 PM] He’s there with you?
Lio
Yeah, he came over after work since he said he wanted to see me. [2:12 PM]
Galo
[2:15 PM] Ah, gotcha
Galo
Do I act weird to you sometimes? [7:30 PM]
Aina
[7:31 PM] You act weird all the time
[7:31 PM] But go on, I'm listening
Galo
No I mean like [7:32 PM]
Weird rude-weird [7:32 PM]
Do I come off rude or discriminatory to you and Thyma sometimes? [7:32 PM]
Aina
[7:33 PM] Galo
Galo
You should tell me if I am [7:33 PM]
Aina
[7:33 PM] Galo.
Galo
I don't mean to be and I would hate to put you in that position [7:33 PM]
Aina
[7:34 PM] GALO.
[7:35 PM] You have never once acted that way
[7:35 PM] Is this about your post?
Galo
You know about that??? [7:36 PM]
Aina
[7:36 PM] It was pretty easy to put the pieces together..........
Galo
Ah fuck [7:37 PM]
Aina
[7:37 PM] Hey big guy
[7:37 PM] It's okay
[7:38 PM] No shame in asking for back up if the heat gets too hot to for you to handle alone
Galo
I just [7:38 PM]
I don't want to act this way? [7:39 PM]
I don't want to hurt Lio? [7:39 PM]
But then I see him with someone else and it's like there's someone else taking control of my body [7:40 PM]
I don't know how to stop [7:40 PM]
Aina
[7:41 PM] Hm
[7:41 PM] You know, as much as I love you Gal
[7:42 PM] This is something you have to figure out for yourself
[7:43 PM] But what advice I can give you is to talk it out with Lio
Galo
Yeah but [7:43 PM]
I can't do that Aina [7:44 PM]
He'll hate me and I don't think I'm capable of handling that [7:44 PM]
Fuck, I'm already tearing up just thinking about it [7:45 PM]
Aina

[7:45 PM] You can take your time til you're sure you're ready
[7:46 PM] But the truth is, you'll never be ready, you know?
[7:47 PM] You gotta deal with the problem, and the best way to do it is to ask Lio directly
Galo
Yeah [7:49 PM]

[7:30 PM] you could try, i dunno,
[7:30 PM] TELLING him instead of going around in circles like this?
Lio
Don't be insane. [7:31 PM]
He's straight, he'd never be interested. [7:31 PM]
The most logical option would be to move on and get over this silly little crush. [7:32 PM]
Meis
[7:32 PM] Pretty good job of moving on there when you gotta mention your current conquest every two seconds around him
Gueira
[7:32 PM] HA! see! that's what i was trying to get at!
Lio
It's part of the healing process. [7:33 PM]
To remind myself not to act like a fool around him, since he's OBVIOUSLY NOT INTERESTED. [7:34 PM]
Gueira
[7:36 PM] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[7:36 PM] UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
[7:36 PM] For someone incredibly smart, you can also be incredibly stupid

Anyway, while you're both online, I need you two to go over the inventory list Thyma sent me. [7:38 PM]

(Video shows an apron-clad Lio in the kitchen, stirring a pot of beef stew. He looks at the camera and raises an eyebrow.)
"What are you doing?"
"I'm recording this moment for posterity! You rarely cook and we usually have pizza or pasta in this house."
(Lio snorts.)
"Ha, yeah, no thanks to you."
"You say that now but when you taste my special pizza, you'll be asking for seconds."
"Impossible. That's never happened in my life."
(Lio turns back to the stove. The camera pans closer, zooming in on the contents of the pot.)
"And here today we have a Korean-inspired dish, courtesy of our very own Lio Fotia! It's quick and easy to make, simple yet magnificent all the same."
"What kind of accent is that?"
"Have you never watched a Gordon Ramsay video in your entire life?"
"Who's Gordon Ramsay?"
(The camera abruptly focuses on Lio while Galo's gasp can be heard in the background.)
"Are you even a part of this century???"
(Lio rolls his eyes and pushes the camera away.)
"I was joking, of course I know who he is."
"Oh, good."
"He's that guy who makes wildlife documentaries, right?"
"Lio."
"I enjoy the ones with crocodiles, personally. Both a man and a meal, conveniently packaged in one video."
"Now you're just pulling my leg."
(Lio smirks at the camera. A hand reaches out and pushes his shoulder.)
"Hey—I’m cooking here, you idiot!"
"Tell us the truth!!!"
"Who the fuck is us???"
(Both boys are laughing, Galo occasionally pushing Lio while Lio retaliates by elbowing Galo in the gut. Galo huffs off camera.)
"Man, I can't believe it took me a year to realize what a psycho you are."
(Lio laughs, surprised, then quickly covers it with his hand. He tucks a stray hair behind his ear and keeps covering his mouth. His expression is amused and his eyes twinkle with mirth. Off camera, a small choking noise is heard.)

UPDATE: Am I (23M) being homophobic towards my roommate (24M)?
[Updates]
Hey! I ended up deleting the original post in a fit of panic but was convinced to repost it and let you guys know what happened. After all, I never could have realized it on my own, I needed all the help I can get, and also 'cause I'm just so damn happy that I feel like I need to share this with the rest of you.
A few days after I made the post, LF was still allegedly seeing someone and I was still feeling like shit. I didn't confront him immediately about it though since I was really scared, so I decided to call one of my closest friends for help (A, if you're reading this, then I hope you know that I love you to bits!). We talked about it and it didn't completely hit me until one day, while me and LF were fooling around, I took a good look at him and thought 'ah, I want to spend the rest of my life with him like this.'
I was a wreck afterwards.
I had to sit my ass down for a few days after to really wrap my head around it. I mean, me? Attracted to a guy? I had only ever been attracted to girls before so it was a huge revelation. What does this imply for my past interactions with LF? Had I always felt this way? What does this mean for our friendship, won't it screw it up? If I confess and he ends up leaving, would I be able to accept that? It hurt a lot to think about, but what hurt me more was the thought that he might fall in love with someone else and I'd be forced to be happy for them. No matter how I saw it, dating him would have been worth the risk, and I'll figure something out after anyway. He's a nice guy, we could have stayed friends. I've dived head first into worse situations before, I could handle this, no problem.
I planned everything out, made dinner, made a PowerPoint, delved into questionable stores to borrow a projector, made LF laugh...and then I didn't confess until two days later. Actually, you couldn't even call that a confession. I just leaned down, pecked him on the lips, then booked it. He came over to my room after and we talked it out. Basically, he was interested in me too for the longest time and he meant it all those times we were joke-flirting, but he knew I was straight so he was jumping from guy to guy trying to get over me. It wasn't easy for him to accept that I may not have been interested though, so sometimes he'd slip when I said I didn't care about him dating other guys. There was some crying involved (okay, there was a lot of crying involved, and most involved me since I can't contain my emotions), but there was some laughter and teasing too. In the end we decided to try dating. Kissing LF was a new experience, but still incredibly enjoyable (plot twist: turns out I don't have any problems with LF kissing guys if it's me he's kissing).
Anyway, since I'm still new to this, LF has been holding my hand throughout the whole thing. He's been very patient with me. We had a mini-date the other night (the full-on date will come later on today), and it wasn't any different from what we usually do when we hang out, but at the same time it was so surreal being with him in that setting. He's always been confident, it's one of the most attractive things about him, but seeing him shy was nice too. He's also incredibly distracting – god, I have no idea how I managed to never notice before. We're easing into things first, trying to take things slow. It helps that the people around us have been so supportive, so it's great to be able to call him my boyfriend out loud and to be called the same in return.
So I guess, I wasn't being homophobic after all! I was just being an idiot, but hey, it all worked out for the best! I'm so, so happy now that I get to kiss and to hold LF whenever I want, I had never expected this to happen. But I'm glad it did. And I just wanted to say, thanks for quickly picking up what the actual problem was and calling me out on it. You're all so great!

It’s bad luck to see your date before the actual date okay [5:17 PM]
Lio? [5:26 PM]
Firefly ❤
[5:27 PM] I’m sorry, I had to sit down to completely process that.
[5:27 PM] What nonsense is going on in your head this time?
Galo
It’s common knowledge!!! [5:28 PM]
You’re not supposed to see your date before the actual date otherwise it’ll end badly [5:28 PM]

[5:29 PM] I’m giving you ten seconds before I break down your goddamn door.
Galo

“Thyma! Hey! It’s Galo!”
“Oh, hello Galo! Your 6:00 PM reservation is all set up, don’t you worry your little blue head. I’ve made sure to book you two a table with a magnificent view."
“Oh wow...but listen, Thyma, I’m really sorry but something came up and I gotta reschedule. Would that be okay?”
“Hm. It might be a tight fit, but I can squeeze you in for next week instead.”
“Hey, that’s—hah—that would be great! You’re the best, Thyma-aH—”
“Is everything okay, Galo?”
“EVERYTHING IS FINE.”
“Um...okay, if you say so. When would you like your booking rescheduled?”

“...Galo?”
“—PLEASE call you later? Or tomorrow morning?”
“Sure, no problem.”
“You’re the best, Thyma! I owe you one!”
“Pretty sure you owe me more than that but sure, I’ll take it.”
“You’re my best friend and I love you!”
“Gotcha. We still need the boss in tip top shape tomorrow so don’t go too crazy.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about—SHHHH—okay thanks bye!”
