I just found out one of my friends is homophobic wtf do i do
I’m in this groupchat with two of my closest friends. I asked them if they were open to the lgbtq+ community (so I could know if it was safe to come out as lesbian) and one of them said no, bc she was catholic. Her specific words were, “ Okay so basically (sorry if I sound mean or anything ) the belief is that God created us specially and we were born as one gender, and something like man made surgery or any thoughts by man can't change that, and the same thing like in the Bible in the garden of Eden it was Adam and Eve and in wedding it's always man and woman and not man and man or woman and woman or whatever”. Thankfully my other friend said that she supports. What do I do??? Should I like just not bring up the topic of lgbtq+ anymore? She’s one of my closest friends.
Stop being friends. If you’re in school together maybe it’s hard to right now but when you get older you’ll naturally drift apart anyway regardless of what you do now. If you’re all young maybe try to educate her and unbrainwash her or talk to the other friend about how it’s weird to not support lgbtq+ stuff in 2025 to see if she’s also...... 1 reply
Drop them. They’re the type of person to use religion as an excuse to hate another. And they will absolutely hate you if you ended up being antything other than a cis gender person. It’ll be in the name of religion, but it’s really just their way of thinking.
Also if we’re going off the Bible then she really shouldn’t need any future sur...... 1 reply
I don't know your friend, so I don't know how she works, but as long as your friend is supportive of you even if she personally finds it "wrong" according to god, I don't see any problem with keeping your friendship.
Me as an example. I hate religion, openly criticize it and call it propaganda. But if someone close to me came out as religious - th...... reply
These answers are lowkey baffling me. My advice is, this shouldn’t effect you’re friendship especially if she’s not uncomfortable with you/people around her being lgbtq. She’s allowed to have her opinion just like how you are and it’s crazy to see people calling her brainwashed for believing in her religion, what happened to respect all r...... 1 reply
Honestly, you're probably not going to change her mind. Sometimes friendships don't last forever.
When I was in HS a friend of mine came out as gay and his best friend kept denying it. She kept telling me the entire story saying Adam and Eve, and not just Adam and Steve. She was however, very bigoted tbh. She would say things about muddying the w...... reply
Haha yeah happened to me to. Told my bsf I was gay in fourth grade and the bitch ghosted me. Honestly just dont worry about it even if they leave you. I crashed out by how unsupported she was and then realized I didnt care about her a few days later. Idk, thats just how I am to not care about stupid people reply
My advice is keep bringing it up nonchalantly and discuss it with her and where she stands because for me I pick out my friends based on moral values and support.
For example, the most I would put up with is someone who is indifferent but also stands up for people who are experiencing judgment or violence.
Always prioritize yourself and surroun...... reply
Who cares? You say that like it's a problem. Is the world going to come crashing down or are you just going to keep hanging with them or cut them off? It's really simple. reply
