I know we all live in a modern society that preaches that it's a must to accept homosexual people in our productive society. I haven't been living under a rock, though, as I've perfectly fine with other LBGT individuals on campus (talked, interacted, worked together).

In fact, a few months ago, I found out that one of my friends from high school was actually a lesbian and I was perfectly fine with that, but I don't understand why I feel so fixated on the fact that my male-friend is homosexual. I can't seem to reinforce the idea into my brain that he has always been the same person I've met and known before I discovered his sexual orientation. Is there something wrong with me? How can I fix this ordeal?
What, specifically, is bothering you about him now that you know he's gay? Are you avoiding him, now finding yourself too weirded out by his orientation to interact with him? I'm going to guess it has something to do, as you implied, with the fact that he is a male homosexual. Rest assured he does not secretly have a crush on you and isn't going to molest you after a night of drinks. Talk with him about the subject and remind yourself that while it's been a struggle for you to come to grips with his identity (and there's nothing wrong with that) it's way worse on him.
