So I'm gay. Yeah, not a big a deal, unless you live in the middle of nowhere with country hicks that believe gay = automatic ticket to getting boned by Satan. My stepfather avidly hates gays, and my mother has flat out said that while she supports gays (she obsesses over Logo, a channel dedicated to gay culture), she would 'really prefer I not be one'. Thumbs up to great parenting.

So really, for it to get out that I'm gay would be, to put it simply, bad. Really, really bad. Knowing this, I told a grand total of four people; my best friend, who is herself bisexual, my second best friend, who has 'fallen in love' with me before, a friend I've known for seven years and who is very motherly toward me, and my father. All were accepting, and all promised not to spill.

Well, second best friend decided to invite another friend over - we'll call her Lyla. Lyla got into second best friend's yahoo logs and found my ever wonderful confession.

Not only did Lyla decide to hide that lovely gem from me for several days before randomly confronting me, but she decided to say she was okay with it. That was two months ago.

Yeah, Lyla's a liar.

Turns out Lyla was ranting and raving to second best friend about how, since we shared gym together, she was worried I was going to try something, or check her out, or lord knows what. She made second best friend promise not to tell me, but we've learned how good second best friend is with that field.

Now, keep in mind that Lyla and I had always joked around about being gay, pretended to be in a relationship and all that, even after she found out. She would pretend-come on to me and call me by terms of affection as it was a long standing joke.

Now I'm royally pissed off at Lyla, and am quite seriously considering ending our friendship, because after years of joking around and me never doing a damn thing, I'm suddenly this stalker rapist to her, just waiting to reach over and molest poor innocent little Lyla in the shower.

Should I give her another chance, or go with instinct?

p.s. Keep in mind that she's probably going to end up yapping to our other friends which, as I said before, would be bad.

If the girl can't handle you being gay, then she is not worth having around.

Just ditch her, get on with enjoying your own life and leave her to a narrow minded world :)

She's actually said and done something damn similar to that before. XDDDD

But yeah, I really doubt I'm gonna be friends with her again. Which sucks, because besides the whole icky-yer-gay-RAPE-HELP thing, she's an awesome, open-minded person.

... Well, from what I can tell, anyway. XDD

Shakehead. I don't get how you can adore someone one minute, find out one little detail about them, and suddenly consider them to be the worst thing to claw its way out of hell.

But yeah, thanks for the advice!

XDDD I could not have your job. I'd be too tempted to mess around with them, if only for the fact that I'd know where they were sitting.

I think it'd be hilarious if they avoided eating at that place all together, just because you work there. I actually know people like that. -, __ -, It's creepy.

Well, it'll get out eventually, but when/if you drop this girl she's going to spread it around out of spite (and, as things are now, she'll blab it around to a few people just because). Brace yourself for it before you do anything, but definitely get away from her as much as you can. Nobody needs that added stress.

If things got really bad at home as a result, maybe you could stay with your dad a while?

I planned on it. XD Though he doesn't exactly have the money to support me (one of the main reasons I'm not living with him now), I could always take on a job or something.

I was kind of hoping it wouldn't get out until I was 18, but keeping it hidden from everyone was kinda nagging me.

Dude, being gay =/= rapist. I've never had anyone treat me like that, even when I came out as bisexual. (That's probably because all the girls in my class, like literally a day later, all decided they were bi too and started getting all up on each other. Trendsexuals fail).

Let this little girl get over herself, and just ignore her for a while.

have you had a talk with her, explained how gay =/= checking everyone of same gender out & possibly raping?

for the sake of keeping your sexuality hidden (for a little longer, at least) and have fewer people know, i wouldn't dump her as a friend - yet. only because she could possibly be the type of person to spread your little 'secret' out of spite (as said by another user already). you could always also cut down on the time spent with her?

Keep your enemies close. x:

Like Bloke said, if you leave off on a bad note with her, that only gives her incentive to spread around the fact that you're gay. If you're on good terms with her... then hopefully she'll keep her immature little mouth shut.

I'm not gay myself, but I have a pretty close lesbian friend and she's always frustrated how other people always assume that she thinks every single girl she sees she must think is hot. Gay people have standards too, and their own personal taste in women/men, etc. just like anyone else. I'm sorry you have such a narrow-minded 'friend'.

Maybe get some of your other friends to try talking to her and asking her not to tell, or explaining the situation to her. Or even just sit down and have a serious talk with her if you can ever get the opportunity to hang out with her alone (though it doesn't seem like she'll let that happen).

Awh, I really hope all goes well. c: Bitches will be bitches.
