You're right I should'nt left her out. But when you say something like that in my country, people make fun of you and say really hard and cruel things about her and I didn't want her to experinece that . She used it just to be popular. You can be popular in many different ways but not make yourself the school's joke? I'm not against them or her and I think're victims of fate. I mean who would love to themself the bitter feeeling of this by an young has and has this/herself feel weird. In my country they're against these people but they're wrong because it was not their choise. That is why I hope someday to live in America because it's land hardship but most importanity a land of freedom and liberity.

The thing is, if you and others who feel the same don't stand up and dare to be different, things will never change. It was the same in North America (and still is in places), but people stood up for what they thought was right, regardless of what people said and did. It's the only way to bring about any change. Nothing will change if you don't change it. If you thing they're wrong, then don't contribute to the problem by doing nothing about it.
Besides, friendship is about being willing to stand with your friend, regardless. Support isn't about agreeing with them all the time, it's about being beside them, even if you think they've made a mistake. You can disagree and still be supportive. If you really are her friend, then what other people think of it shouldn't matter. :)
What I want to know is, did she actually say she was telling people so she could be popular? Or is this your assumption? Is she simply, in her own way, trying to make a change in the way people perceive lesbians, gays, etc? Is this her way of saying "Who care what they think? I am who I am?"

You're right, I can't imgaine the feeling by dumped by my best friend. And now the worst thing she hanging around with her best friends and they're make fun of her by telling other friends and publishing this news in school. But if I want to reopen this friendship should I call her around the week? or wait? and you're right I should stand for but the problem is any sociaty it's your word aginst them and they hate them so much that they don't mind killing them. Tell me, do those people have the right to do what they want in public or in their places in America ? Is the president of America going to put rules to help them or he's like our president who used his money to go on24/7 trips. And what is your opionon on same-sex marriges?

I would suggest approaching her and apologizing for dropping her like you did and then let her decide what to do next :). Personally, my friends are my friends, regardless of their age, gender, religion or sexual preference. I don't care what other people think, because I'm not out to impress other people, especially other people who are so narrow minded as to think someone is a second-class citizen because they happen to be of a different race, religion or sexual orientation. At the end of the day, the opinion I should really worry about is my own and whether or not I know I've done the right thing.
As for same sex marriage, I'm for it. It's legal in Canada, where I live :)

Oh Canada. Sometimes I think I'd rather like to join you ... :rolleyes:
So I definitely had no idea that this thread existed until just now but it kind of makes my night (erm ... morning)! I am not a teen either, but I am a lesbian so I thought I would poke my head in and say hi as well. So hi! And yay for this thread. It's so nice to find so many beautiful, welcoming people here.
