    It's not really an issue or a problem per say, more of an annoyance. My friend is straight, but unfortunately has a rather homophobic family, thankfully he doesn't take after his family. His uncle has a "no gays in the house" rule, and we've never been to each others house or hung out outside of College before. We do however talk online and at College.

    He's had to lie and say that I'm a guy when we talk online, because if they found out that I'm a girl then his family would either try and set us up, or accuse him of ruining his chances/ being gay/ having no game for not making a move on me. Most of his family would probably flip if they found out I'm a lesbian, especially since his uncle seems to go by the rules of "don't associate with homosexuals". I did wonder if it was just a case of his uncle and his dad not liking gay men, but from the discussions I've had with my friend it sounds like they might not like lesbians too much either.

    Yay. :eusa_doh:

    I'm hoping that when I turn 18 we'll be able to hang out more, and they can't exactly stop us...can they? If only there was some way to show his uncle and his dad that having gay people around isn't going to be some corrupting influence. Oh well. :frowning2: I just wanted to get that off my mind, I suppose this thread is kind of pointless but oh well. :shrug:
