My friend is flamboyantly gay and yet I worry that he is not being true to himself. He's a complete coward when it comes to love, despite his other good qualities. He's very good-looking, a complete altruistic pushover, he has many fan girls that are utterly wasted on him, and his crush is absolutely right here in Death City, but he will never confess on his own. What is a socially acceptable and nonviolent way to force him into acknowledging that it is all right to feel this way about other men, and would it be lying to tell him that he can live happily ever after even if his crush rejects him? Considering his crush is straight and has a girlfriend, this is pretty likely, but I would rather have a devastated friend than a friend who is a passive coward.
