Faggot guildmate is hitting on me

[Birkhoff]

A member who has previously been quiet about his private life, has revealed to me, in private, that he is a faggot. Not a problem to me personally, but it makes me slightly uncomfortable when he's overly affectionate towards me in guild chat.

I don't want to hurt his feelings and be seen as homophobic by him and my guild. How should I handle this situation?

enjoy the ban

"Not cool mate, not cool."

Why would I be banned from my guild? I'm trying to handle the situation in the best possible way.

Maybe not from the guild but possibly here. Why? The term you used to describe your guildmate.

Well now MMO-Champion sees you as a homophobe, you should carefully read what your typing.

[monkmastaeq]

Well clearly you are homophobic so why hide your nature and embrace it

not your guild derp.. this website. your language was unnecessary and discussing sexuality is against the rules.

Don't Feed the Troll.

Look at the title for your thread. Is there a word there that maybe shouldn't be? A word that will be getting you likely banned?

As much as PC police annoy the shit out of me.. this OP is kinda a dick and deserves PC police.

First of all do not refer to him as "faggot".

Secondly just tell people that want to fuck you, for example, that you do not want to fuck. It is pretty simple. Feel free to replace the 'fuck' in that with any other activity.

He means from these forums. This topic is not to be discussed, as sexuality is not a topic we discuss here. Especially with the word choice you chose in the title and writing.

A) stop being an asshole
B) tell him that his affections make you uncomfortable, like an adult, though your use of the word "faggot" in this sense indicates that acting like an adult is a struggle for you.

Good luck not coming off as homophobic when you call him a faggot.

Closing, trolling the forum is not acceptable.
