Well, in a friendly and open - minded environment, it could be all right. For example, if you both are comfortable discussing LGBTQ+ topics and your friend has a positive story to share about the gay community, it might be an enriching experience. However, you need to ensure that both of you are on the same page regarding sharing such stories.
I think it can be appropriate as long as it is done with respect. If your friend is sharing a story that is meaningful, perhaps about love, acceptance or challenges faced in the gay community, it can be a great way to gain understanding and show support. But it's crucial to be aware of the setting and the feelings of those around you. If you're in a public place where others might not be receptive, it may not be the best time.
