Ok today a girl I was talking to randomly said that she was a lesbian. I asked her if anyone else knew and she said no. So what am I supposed to do since in her religion it is bad to be a lesbian.

More to the point, Orion's drastically, terribly wrong. If you're the only person she told, you should be there for her. Let her know that she has someone she can trust.


I didn't say that. I said he should stay out of her business and beliefs unless she asks or is in dire need of help. If she's suicidal, yeah, help. If she's just telling you just so you know, be cool with it and don't treat her any different. If she's okay mentally, don't help if it's not wanted or needed. That tends to severely annoy people.

And you're wrong to say so. She may not be in dire need, but I don't think she told him because she wanted it ignored. I'm not suggesting you bother her about it, but don't ignore it either.

It takes nature to swing that way, it takes choice to act it out.
Sexuality has nothing to do with acts.

Homosexual or homophobic, don't try to change their opinions.
Why not? Sometimes people are wrong. It beats killing them.

I suggest educating the ignorant to be a better route than simply telling them they are wrong. Maybe it's me, but I do not like the idea of ignorant people spewing bigotry which can lead to discrimination and various other effects that can be harmful to an individual.

Actions. Just that you want to do something does not mean you can't avoid doing it.

This thread is really repeating itself a bunch, and tangentially to the topic. >.>

But yeah, debating homosexuality is not really why this guy made this topic, I'm pretty sure. He was asking for advice to give advice.


Perhaps this should have been a Tavern topic then. Expect anything in the WEPR section to get torn at by people like a pack of rabid dogs.

Since I haven't had that much experience with homos or the issue I can't really give you much advice. Sorry.


In all seriousness, just treat her the same as you did before. If she is religious and it's against her religion to be a homosexual, then something has to change. What changes is up to her. If there's no conflict then it's all fine and I guess she just wanted to let you know?

I don't really like posting in threads about religion since I usually get criticized for my beliefs, but Lesbianism is allowed by many other religions.

You don't have to be an Atheist to be Christian and Lesbian.

This is true, there are many religions and religious denominations that accept homosexuality.

You don't have to be an Atheist to be Christian and Lesbian.


Not sure if I'm following what your saying here?

I think you should support her and told about of this. What sin Girls people who love girls have? Lesbians should be proud of being a lesbian. You can advise her go to Femmefish.com where all girls, no men. Hope she enjoy it.

It can be hard to let go of ones beliefs. Ad that to having to feel like you have to hide your sexual preference that can make a very difficult situation to deal with. For this person to let go of religion would likely be too hard at this time.

Or you could be less bigotted and actually learn something. Go look for the dozens of links in this thread.

Or you could turn gay, since hey, it's a choice


He'd be most unwilling, realizing he might be an "exception"
