I Love You, Man (as a Friend) [not the Paul Rudd flick]

The New York Times' Douglas Quenqua wrote an interesting article on friendships between gay men and straight men (longish). It really resonated with me. 97% of my male friends are straight (definitely not by design, just happenstance) and I have dealt with many of the issues discussed in that article.

My two best friends are both straight and both of whom I had crushes on early in our "relationship". Fortunately we were able to work through it and we remain friends to this day.

Guys: have you ever had a close friendship with another guy who was not the same sexual orientation as you? How did it work out? Did you see yourself in that article?
