i dont care about gays but i had a right to know from the beginning

stop twisting everything i say!!!!!!!
[QUOTE="sfaraj;64797503"]i know lesbians in my all girls school, they dont crush on every single person you know, they have their own grilfriends and crazily they still have straight best friends who are supporting them

you say she could've said earlier, well people dont really feel they are homosexual till later in their life, so its a bit selfish

if youre not homophobic, then you should accept her as your best friend, she knows you're straight, doubt she would try to hit on you, and dating girls is not different to dating boys, she'll still give you advice...[/QUOTE

But it might be biased?

So after being friends with her for 8 goddamn years(!!!!!) she decides to come out. Don't get me wrong, im not homophobic but i don't feel comfortable with my best friend being a lesbian. Im not starting to think she tried to hit on me at one point in life and i probably didnt even notice!!!

I'm so lost and so disappointed she couldnt tell me earlier - did she not trust me enough or something?? I feel like i cant asking her for 'boy advice' anymore as she will tell me not to date them because she is into me secretly........ Ive tried to hint to her that im not ok anymore being such close friends. ive avoided her in school and she did notice but didnt make the link....

Has anyone bean in such situation?


There is no point in claiming you are not homophobic and then ranting and raving about how uncomfortable you are. Do not think that because she is a lesbian, she wants to get in your pants. She is your friend and it has taken her so much time to tell you and if this is how you have responded, you are not a very good friend. Feeling unsure, uncomfortable, or whatever is not the end of the world. She would probably be respectful of that and try and help you. However, she probably saw your potential to be the way you have been and so it stopped her from confronting you. She is not trying to change you. If she makes a move on you, then you can handle it but in a much more mature way. You can ask her for boy advice - girls ask me for advice on girls and boys and boys ask me for advice on boys and girls; your sexuality does not make an ounce of difference.

Do you understand how difficult it is to come out? To be comfortable enough to tell those you think are going to stand by you and help you through the difficult times? Clearly not. To her, it probably looks like 8 years meant nothing. I suggest you have a good hard look in the mirror, shout grow up, and go and be the rock she needs you to be otherwise, leave her to move on and be happy.

(@sfaraj - Thank you :smile:)

No you didn't have the right to know anything. It is her life and it should not make a shred of difference to your own.

you do not have a right to know. Her sexuality should have no consequence to you, it has no bearing on your life whatsoever. And as others have said have you any idea how long it takes to accept these things in your own head before you are ready to tell anyone? even your parents?
Have i told my friends at school? no, because they don't need to know and i am scared of bigoted reactions such as yours

maybe you would find it a bit annoying she didn't tell you earlier, then you might think to yourself.. "hm wait, I'm not a homophobic self indulgent 12 year old who thinks the world revolves around me" but maybe you are. Then maybe you'd realise that coming out is a hard time, and she wanted to take her time and wait for the right moment, and was probably scared as she was expecting reactions just like yours. You're meant to be her friend and help her through difficult times like this, not be an utter **** and make it worse for her.

you dont know that, and it wouldn't be, its not like the conversation will be like:
you:" this guy asked me out, but she flirted with X"
her:" boys ain't loyal come date girls", idk what kind of advice may be biased but you need to justify it b, cos it wont be, there are relationship issues disregarding the sexuality of the couple, and they will still get advice, lesbians in my school give advice to straights and vica verca and tbh their relationships are going strong.

She isn't telling you she likes you omg
Stop assuming she fancies you just because she likes girls, yes that's right girls
Girls doesn't necessarily = you

"I'm not a homophobe but I'm not comfortable with my best friend being a lesbian"

Yes, you are a homophobe. Assuming she's hitting on you is like assuming you fancy every guy you meet. Grow up. Your friend deserved better.

Any other girl in the whole world :lol:
You can fancy people from a distance, christ i see girls in the street and think how beautiful they are without even knowing them
funnily enough i would find it hard to crush on my close friends even though they are beautiful, the idea of kissing them after growing up with them is just odd so don't assume that she likes you

I think you're right.

You really need to stop being friends with her.

She deserves far better friends than you.

I'm fully aware that some of my closest friends are hot as fuuck, but fancy them, hell no! Theyre my friends, I know where the line is and I don't want to cross it, or ruin our friendship! Your friend needs to get herself the hell away from you for her own good lol
