Can you help me with ways I can ask my daughter's friend to be less gay when he is around me? He is always talking about how hot guys are and what he would do to them when she has him over and it is annoying. I asked her to tell him to cool it with that and she said that I was making too big a deal about it. Any suggestions?

I think the most tactful way to ask your daughter's friend to be less "gay" when he is around you is to start by complimenting him on something other than his sexual orientation. Maybe start by commenting on something he says or does that you enjoy. If you notice him mentioning hot guys or talking about his interest in them, you could change the subject or ask him about something completely different. You don't want to outrightly tell him to stop talking about hot guys, because that could make him feel self conscious. Instead, subtly steer the conversation in a different direction by bringing up topics or questions that would make him open up about something else. Additionally, since your daughter's friend knows he's not supposed to mention gay topics around you, you might want to thank him for his consideration and remind him that you appreciate him respecting your preference. By doing this, you show understanding and appreciate his sensitivity without making him feel uncomfortable.
