I am a senior in highschool. I find myself a nice and social girl that is fairly excepting of others. One day at lunch, I saw a girl eating alone and was reading a manga that I enjoyed (Tokyo Ghoul). So I went up to her and started a conversation. She was a junior and seemed like a nice kid. We had some similar tastes in anime and cosplay. Although she was very, as you would say, hard headed she seemed cool. So, I hung out with her during school a bit more. I would randomly say hi or eat with her at lunch and tried to get her to open up to my friends. I honestly did nothing else outside of that, but one day she asked me out. I did not know she was a lesbian, nor did I care, but I was surprised she asked me out. I am straight and only saw her as my friend, so I tried to politely turn her down and asked to still be friends. But that got her mad somehow. I guess I was "leading her on" and was "playing with her emotions". When she asked if it was because she was female, I told her it was not the only reason but I was in fact straight. So now, according to her, I am sexist and refusing to date her based on her gender. She would talk to me a few times, bringing it up. She even said I was "homophobic" because I was not open to try it. WHAT THE HELL! Now she has almost all the other lesbian students in our school (maybe like five so not that many) against me. They haven't really caused a scene yet or harassed me, it's more like a group of girls angrily staring and spreading rumors. Since when was I the bad guy? What should I do? Should I talk to her? Should I ignore it? GAH!!!

That's really stupid. Just stop hanging out with her. That's what I would do.

lol "homophobic" what the hell? Like reading that is killing my brain cells. =_= If she actually liked you, she would understand that you are straight and would not be calling you homophobic.

If you were polite about it and still want to be friends, I don't even see what the fucking problem is >_> What is up with people these days?

Once again, just stop hanging out with her and go to your other friends.

is this world just live by gay and lesbian

>>2 is right. That's silly.

I'm sure you probably realize this but you didn't actually do anything wrong. This person is being delusional and your acts of friendship misconstrued for some sort of advance, which, to an extent, one may control, but in this case it's in her head and you can't really do any spring cleaning in there. Sexist and homophobic for being straight? That's ridiculous. Saying you're homophobic for being straight would be like saying somebody's an animal hater for not owning a pet, or racist for not being a race they're not; that simply makes no sense and it sounds almost like that she's attacking you and lashing out to cover up embarrassment or something like that. I'm not entirely sure what you should do, since I haven't been in a situation like that, but I'd probably try to talk to her about it; if she actually cares about you she'd hear you out and you could continue being friends, otherwise, be honest with her and yourself and stop hanging around her if there's no other way to deal with it. As for the rumors, don't pay any heed to them; treat everybody like you usually would, politely and nicely and with consideration, you know, and they'll be able to see for themselves that the rumors have no merit. If they can't see them, that's another problem entirely for them to deal with as people.

In any case, I wish you luck and hope that this blows over smoothly. If it doesn't, I hope the detachment isn't too bumpy.

As a member of the LGBT community, I believe that she requires a good yelling at by 'le whoever like using logic 'n crap. Any piece of even pointless logic would throw her off entirely on her 'sexism' thing she has going on.

holy hell.. that's rough. and all because you just wanted to be nice and make another anime friend, or just talk to someone who seem lonely. seems like that girl has a lot of issues of her own, best to ether stay away from it.. or try to help her. rumors are boring i think, most smart people will see past that for the lie they are.

You don't need to be homosexual to support homosexuals.... It's like, you don't need to be homeless to support homeless people right?
She maybe just didn't understand that, that's all

The girl may have just been too excited when she found a friend for once. I don't know if you know, but I feel like you are only rejecting her because of your friendship. You don't want it to be ruined. It's not that you don't support homosexuals. It's just that you don't want to break up and no longer be friends anymore. Tell her that you don't want to ruin your friendship. That's all. She may understand then.

What she's doing is an emotional abuse tactic. I've seen similar stories to this countless times, though usually the perpetrator is a self-professed "nice guy" that turns hostile when he is told he is only seen as a friend. And just like I recommend to people dealing with "nice guys," I say cut her out of your life altogether. Don't even acknowledge her or the rumors she spreads. As far as you're concerned, she does not exist.

If you're a senior in highschool, you'll just be graduating this year so you pretty much just need to survive until then. However, it might be a good idea to talk to her and clear things up. When you do, you should have some friends or people around you to back you up or at least be witnesses. Tell her that you can't just turn around from being straight to lesbian, you could also explain to her that you it's not because of her gender (even if it is) but her personality, it takes more than just her asking you out to go out with her. I hope this helps and makes sense =)

Also like >>9 said, she's probably doing the emotional abuse tactic. But if you ignore her and cut her out of your life, either things could settle down back to normal (maybe) or get even worse if she keeps persisting this.
