So there's this pseudo-friend of mine, a girl who I met out on the West Coast. About a year after I moved back East, she told me she was gay. Then she told me she was seeing a 34-yr old (She was 18). Then she'd slept with the 34-yr old, then a 17-yr old, then a 24-yr old... Now she's all-but-bragging about 'turning' a highschool girl, and how she 'feels sorry' for the guy who likes said highschool girl. And then she goes on to say how this other girl -- the ex-lover of an ex-lover -- is coming to see her for a few days. But it's not that she's interested in her, she just wants to "get drunk and sleep with her."

At once this all disgusts and enrages me, and it's not really due to the homosexuality -- some of my closest friends are gay. I just get this overwhelming feeling of... like an oily film over me, and I just want to break something.

Sorry for the poor guy indeed.

She embodies most things about other people, generally, that disgust me -- plainly, her utter lack of responsibility in any sense, her seeming disinterest in the effect on others that her behavior has, and a complete disregard for anything except in so far as it makes her feel better.

That article does make an interesting observation on the respectability of homosexual commitment. As I said, there are a number of homosexual people who I have a lot of admiration for (*nods to Kincaid and Mel*). At the same time, the whole 'turning' this isn't as uncommon as one might hope, at least from my (admittedly limited) experience. And, of course, she has no real interest in the highschool girl except as another plaything, one which she will inevitably drop when she gets bored. Regardless of sexual orientation, I find that to be both disgusting and enraging!

Said girl has begun to talk less and less with me, presumably because she has some sense of exactly how much I disdain her behavior. Before, she would come to me 'apologetically' when she felt she'd done something 'wrong,' and ask for my advise. None of which was ever what she was looking for, and none of which she ever took.
