They Were Best Friends for Over a Decade—Then One Shocking Moment Changed Everything
When gay marriage was legalized in my state, they canceled the meeting that week so that the majority of the boys could protest it in front of the courthouse and capital. I didn’t want to go, because I’m not a total a*****e, so I just didn’t have anything to do that weekend. When we came back on Tuesday, the scout master opened with a prayer, and said some strongly anti-LGBTQ+ lingo, and when we were sent to our individual patrols I tried to talk with my best friend at the time about why he went.
He started ranting about how cruel it was to subject their churches to homosexuality, and everyone was just joining in complaining about people and they suggested some evil stuff. My mistake was trying to reason with them. After that I just stopped coming to the meetings. The few guys at school were asking questions, I just kept saying that I lost interest. (Which was very untrue, I was super happy with scouting) but I’d rather keep distance from judgmental people.
Also an important note; My sister recently came out, so I absolutely made the right decision
TL;DR I lost most of my friends at the same time because I learned they were huge homophobes.
Her life is very much about her and she found time for me when she had nothing else going on. I pulled the plug on it when she spent an hour justifying her sleeping with a married man.
It took a while to put the distance in, but I decided I was out the moment she told me she wrote fanfic. Which i’d be okay with, if the story she showed me didn’t feature an 8 year old boy being ‘taught about manhood’ by his early 30 somethings aunt. In graphic detail. Over what appeared to be about 8 chapters.
She was early thirties and has a son of the same age. I very much hope that has become “had a son” but i am sooooooooo far out of contact I wouldn’t know.
