i'm 18 a senior in high school. ok so most of my friend or at least my closest ones are all straight guys. They know i'm gay. So we typically joke around a lot which isn't a problem. Well one of my friends revealed that he is gay and likes me, so we are together now which is great. Things with him are great and all of our friends are fine with us being together, except they keep making I turned him gay jokes and things like I most give great head to have turned someone as straight as him. They all know and get that he was born gay and has just finally admitted it. I think that the jokes are there way of showing us how fine they are with us. But they are getting on my nervous and I don't know if I should say anything or keep my mouth shut. What should I do?

straight friends and gay jokes?

Stop laughing at the jokes. That should be a big enough hint for them to realize you aren't amused by them anymore. However, if they don't catch on, casually tell them to stop next time it happens. You don't have to make it a big deal, you can even laugh a little bit while you say it, but make sure you're clear enough to communicate your feelings. If worse comes to worst, get serious and say, "Can you please stop making these jokes? They were funny at first, but I'm beginning to get offended." If they keep on after that, they're not your friends.
