You shouldn't care what other people say and think. They will have their opinion no matter what you do to try to prove things. As long as you know you aren't ...who cares?

Here's the deal. You've just been introduced to a little friend that you didn't know you've had all your life: heterosexual privilige. You need to decide whether you want to keep said privilige (which you've done nothing to earn, and by no means deserve), or if you want to continue to be a friend, and possibly an ally, to any lesbian or gay people. To put things in perspective: if you have a lesbian friend, and you don't really believe that there's anything WRONG with being a lesbian, then why should it bother you that people think that?
If you're worried about consequences of people thinking that, then you're in no worse position than your lesbian friend, who faces that threat every day of her life.

Oh, I have sure been there! My best girlfriend that I hung out with constantly, "came out" and everyone automatically tried to connect us that way.
I didn't bother with them. I knew who I was, I wasn't remotely having lesbian thoughts, and was sort of boy crazy at the time, anyway ! I figured actions speak louder than words, and blew them all off.
I wasn't about to waste my time defending myself, they are going to think what they want to anyway. Her friends started disowning her, her family criticized her; it was a really rough time, and now that I look back, I see it really took guts for me to continue being close Friends with her, and I am so so glad i had the back bone to do that
Show all those people that you are a true friend and stick to your friendship and don't let them intimidate you into breaking up a good friendship.

If you're straight, stay straight. Why should you worry what people think only on the basis of sexual liking or preference. You can hang on with your lesbian best friend like before, what's wrong in it. That's your social preference.

Me and my best friend are BOTH lesbians and people think that we're together... we just have to keep telling people that we're not. That's just the way it is. People make their own assumptions about everything.

How about not caring about what others think? People come up with some strange opinions sometimes and you just need to ignore them. Heck, I had one former co-working that thought I'm a Nazi because I'm Wiccan. How he came up with that I have no clue, but that just goes to show how crazy and meaningless other people's opinions can be.

The cliched answer: don't worry what other people think.

Another possibility: get a boyfriend. Or hang out and flirt with boys.

Or a mixture of both.

If you really care that much, you could do one of two things. One, find a guy you could flirt or go out with, or you could try and hook your friend up with another girl

Either way, you should care more about what your best friend thinks, than what those random passer-bys do.

If the people you are so worried about them having the story straight don't know her; then maybe they are not worth explaining it to. If they are your friends too then they will know the real story. All other people---just forget about it. It's not worth fussing over.
