I really like my friends, but this is my boyfriend, what should I do?

I threw a party which my boyfriend attended. I invited two guys who are friends of mine and happen to be gay and out. My boyfriend was standoffish bordering on rude to them. After the party, he called them derogatory names and said he didn't want them around me. I really like my friends, but this is my boyfriend, what should I do?

I could understand it more if your two friends were lesbians and he didn't want them around you, but I must confess, I wouldn't understand it much more.
I think what your boyfriend is saying is that he doesn't want them hanging around him. If it were a matter of your boyfriend just being uncomfortable, I would say make sure your boyfriend and your friends are never in the same room again and call it a day.
But there are other factors here I can't ignore: the derogatory remarks, and the demand that you not have them around you. There's a decision to be made by you: can you comfortably co-exist with someone who uses derogatory terms about your friends (or anyone), and can you live with the dictate that you drop friends because your boyfriend doesn't like them? Determine the answers to those questions, and that will tell you what to do.
