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.

I'm reminded of an interesting article I once read.

"Coming out of the closet" was originally popularized as an excuse for people to continue sleeping around and not worry about being pressured to marriage. The push for homosexual marriages comes from homosexuals who wish to become respectable members of society. If homosexual marriage gets through, the people who plead homosexuality to propagate their commitment free lifestyle will no longer be allowed to be so and remain respectable.

It brings a very different perspective to the whole debate, and is an interesting thing for your mind to chew on.

As for "turning" someone, if that means what it seems to imply (that she's trying to convince someone that they're homosexual), it seems to be a drastic departure from the often preached "live and let live" philosophy that homosexuals campaign.

I have nothing agaisnt homosexuals, but, based on what you've said, this person seems to be a paragon of the things related to homosexuality which I am against.

I can sympathize with your feeling.

(On a side note, I really need to get around to making new LJ icons. These don't seem to express me well enough . . .)

I don't really believe any of what she's doing is real. With all the experiences I've had doing the kind of thing you describe (by no means the same actions, I never have and don't intend to sleep around) most actions like that are more of an escape. There's normally some aspect of a persons life that they can't deal with, so they cover up what they see as weakness with stupid impulse actions. The problem is, the actions are worse than the weakness, which involves its own cover up, which tends to be flaunting the actions to prove it doesn't bother the person (I'm sure you've noticed me doing this at least once)

I don't know. I've just been evaluating myself lately and found that pattern in my actions, so it seems more likely right now that she's hiding herself than actually just doesn't give a crap about her actions and who she'll hurt. I don't understand people like that and how they can be like that, so this is just my humble little opinion.
