homosexuality and friends

I have a friend that would like to "help." I use the term loosely and you'll see why I don't want to "help;" moreover, I want him to be happy. . .This friend of mine is 25, and has many homosexual tendencies. . .pschologically it is wrong to assume in that way; however, he also has many complexes that are common to homosexuals.

My friend is deeply depressed, and he doesn't know why. I have advised him to seek therapy, but he refuses. He also has an inferiority complex, and low self-esteem (which can be implied). I hang out with him and his guy friends and I've noticed that whenever he becomes close to a friend, he becomes slightly affectionate, and cares a great deal for them. I have also noticed that whenever givin' the chance to be with a girl, he refuses; nonetheless, once he was seduced by a gay man and refused him, as well.

This friend also portrays stereotypical homosexual tendencies, which are regardless, just observations. He reads "playboys," and other "smut" and what not. He is deeply depressed and I feel it's because of the reason in question, inasmuch as he has been for as long as I've known him (about 9 years) and nothing in his life has changed, and for all I know, nothing had happened before I knew him. Please tell me what I can do to help, or push him in the right direction, or what is up with him in general. . .Thank you
