It is up to the individual to 'label' themselves if they wish, or not if they don't wish, as far as I am concerned.
Mitorious (interesting name) didn't, btw, say that he wanted gay friends, or only gay friends, just that he wanted friends. Just because two people share a sexuality doesn't mean they will get on; though if their are issues like loneliness, I think being gay is relevant, and other gay men may be better placed to understand and offer advice.
