Many, many, years ago when I found out that my best friend (and we had been best friends all throughout high school) was a lesbian, I said some HORRIBLE things to her.
Others had whispered about her sexuality for years, but I told them they were nuts. She obviously liked guys because she dated guys, kissed them, etc. But come to find out, it was only because she was trying to force herself to be ‘normal’. In my defense, I was very young and stupid and had been taught my entire life that homosexuals were going against God, would burn in hell, and so forth. My attitude now regarding homosexuals is much different (because over the years, I actually started thinking for myself instead of just believing/repeating what I’d been told).
I was the first person she came out to. My reaction hurt her tremendously and I could see it in her eyes the entire time I was yelling at her, but at the time I didn’t care because all I could think about was all the times she’d seen me naked, and all the times we’d slept in the same bed, and how deceived *I* felt by all of it. I destroyed one of the best friendships I ever had in my life because I was an idiot (rather she was gay, straight, or bi, it didn't change who she was).
There is nothing I’d love more than to be able to go back and ‘undo’ it. But unfortunately, that’s not an option. And I can’t even attempt to do damage control. We both moved away after that, and from what I hear through the grapeview, she’s now so screwed up on drugs, she wouldn’t even know who I was. And I believe it’s probably because when she finally came out, she experienced so much rejection from *everyone* and she turned to drugs to dull the pain and then got hooked.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't regret how I handled the situation.
