Came in expecting said classmate to be a girl, leaving satisfied. Milo was right, there aren’t really any lesbians.

My point wasn’t really agreeing or disagreeing, but I guess I’d tend to agree with your statement – our society has been more accepting of killing an unborn person than of people’s sexual orientation. Which is scary.

It would be wrong to call them out of facebook. If this is a person you had a strong relationship with, you might have a discussion with them in private.

Deactivate your FB account and pray for forgiveness of your HS friends sins and of your own sins too, and mine as well.

In the current politically correct cultural climate, I personally wouldn’t say anything. I am a spineless chicken also 
However, in 7 or 8 minutes you could pray a Divine Mercy chaplet for her and I think that would be the most productive. Then Holy Spirit will say to her what needs to be said.

I am biromantic myself and proud. There is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are and the unique experience of life God has blessed you with. However, as Catholics, we believe we are called to be not only be ourselves, but our best selves, virtuous selves. So when it comes to choices, we are called to choose what God wills. Just so you know, our sexual orientation (who we are sexually attracted to) is not a choice, and bisexual is an orientation. The choice is who we date, marry or have sex with, how we act on our orientation. These choices are seldom easy–it was incredibly painful and difficult for me to choose to follow God’s will in forgoing a lesbian relationship. Put yourself in your friend’s shoes–how would you feel knowing that the person you love, or the person you will one day love, is someone you will never be permitted to have an intimate relationship with? If a friend was explaining to you why she believed heterosexuality was sinful, and that we should refrain from the heterosexual lifestyle, how would you feel (assuming you are heterosexual)?
I would only express support in response to the Facebook post, something like “Name, sending lots of love your way. It takes a lot of courage to share that part of yourself. Thank you for sharing with us! I’m here to talk if you ever feel like it.” If she comes to you and wants to discuss religion and homosexuality, that would be the time to explain your beliefs with love. It is often better to say nothing than to speak the truth with hate or indifference when talking about such a personal matter. Again, imagine she was sharing her beliefs with you about heterosexuality being sinful, and don’t say anything to her, you would find hurtful if said to you.

There’s one issue with it, which is that “proud” can mean two quite different things, one good and one bad. As Google has it,

Really? Cause after 20 years, Ellen D. checked and…yup still a lesbian. Perhaps the 14 year marriage to Portia De Rossi was just a fun gal-pal thing.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I won’t argue with her on facebook about this. Thanks again!

This is just what this forum needs, more Breitbart “stuff”.
Only thing is, I doubt you’ll garner very much attention with the above, inasmuch as we had a thread a few months ago claiming that the “mythical homosexual person” does not exist, and it received hundreds of replies.
Or maybe I’m wrong about that … maybe we’re due for another big discussion on whether the homosexual person (of whichever gender) exists.

I’m sorry for causing a ruckus. Thought I needed some advice. Thanks again for all the suggestions and the cold hard truth.
I won’t confront her on the internet
And since I haven’t seen her in about four or five years, I won’t confront her where she is. If anything, I’ll just leave it to God. Like a poster said: I’ll pray for them. Again, sorry for barging into personal lives and asking advice on how to barge. I’m really, really sorry. I tend to be really, really talkative. I’ll be sure to keep my mouth shut from now on. Again, Thanks. God bless all!
PS I think this thread should be closed before it gets way out of hand. To any Moderators: I apologize and take full responsibility for it getting out of hand. I am sorry. I’ll try not to make this stupid decision again.

I was not trying to garner any attention, just pointing out how there aren’t really any lesbians, as the Cambridge educated Milo has said. Hence the practically non-existent historical record of lesbianism. I also know many lesbians (believe me) and all of them have been attracted to men as well, hence the moniker “bisexual”. I will no longer derail OP"s thread. OP is a sincere soul looking for counsel and I should not have made the comment in the first place, but unfortunately you cannot delete posts here after 20 minutes.This is just what this forum needs, more Breitbart “stuff”.

Good point, and sorry if I made it sound like you were.
Yeah, I got that from your previous post. (Well, I see you added the Cambridge detail in now.)

Why do you feel you have to confront her at all?

I knew her back in high school. She was my classmate. Back then, she seemed nice, claimed she was a moderate in addition to her mother. Her father was a conservative. Later on, we lost touch. I went to prom with her and her friends. That, and I liked her back in school. Wanted to date her, but didn’t. Don’t think she was interested.

Lots of women go crazy at college and drink their professors’ marxist kool aid with alacrity. It happened to my high school oneitis. Don’t worry about it. She wasn’t meant for you.

Oh geez, I thought it was a fine question and people ask questions all the time here about various situations. Please don’t blame yourself for asking a question. The replies are as they are and some threads get out of hand by the nature of the topic.
It was not a stupid decision but a sincere question.
God bless,

I agree, people sometimes want to stir up something in threads like this.
OP, just know that you should not tell LGBT people that they should not be proud of their sexuality as it sounds quite tone deaf. You would come across as homophobic, as opposed to someone trying to defend their faith. Most of these people struggled a lot and comments like that will turn them away from you (if they are not receptive to religion, differing views). To them it seems like you are condemning them, not loving them. Remember, you cannot expect someone to magically become a Catholic just by telling them that they are doing something wrong. You wouldn’t convert if a Muslim told you that you should not be proud of your faith because worshipping Jesus is wrong, right? Because to you, your faith is the truth. Likewise, they are very proud of accepting a part of them (that was probably the target of hateful people) and they sincerely believe that they are not doing anything wrong.
Again, Catholic teaching does not condemn the attraction, but the behavior. A practicing Catholic can be openly gay and chaste. And he isn’t ashamed about his attraction and he can easily talk about his struggles. Nothing wrong with that
I know you probably know this but it doesn’t hurt to reiterate this.And with other controversial issues, social media is a terrible place to discuss them. Screenshots can ruin you. And because you cannot easily detect the tone of others you could ruin someone too.
