I like my friend but hes gay and i dont know how i feel about it?

i really like my friend and last night we were out and i got very drunk and basically threw myself at him but he subtly refused and pushed me away yet becausei was so drunk, i kept trying and all our friends were like 'wtf is up with her!?' then we went outside and i told him i liked him and then he told me he was gay. i had my suspicions he was but i never said it to him. he hasnt told a lot of people and im delighted that were close enough that he could say it to me. like im really happy in that aspect and everything but im just mortified i kept throwing myself at him beforehand, he was completely fine with it but im worried about what others who dont know hes gay will say about me throwing myself at him. any ideas how ill deal with the mortification?
