My "close friends" - those who call me "The One Eyed Bastard" - are those from whom I would consider the label "a privilege". They are few.
My other "circle of friends" is small - thay are the ones who don't ask me to change what I am comfortable with. People need to accept me as I am - or walk away. My life is my choice. I am who I am.
To those who won't or don't or can't accept that - walk away - I don't want to know you.
