    People in our society don’t seem to understand that sexual interest is only one part of a gay relationship, the same as it’s not the only part of a straight relationship. I don’t know why they are so blind. I am a lesbian, formerly straight. My best friend of 37 years needs a hug and someone to hold her when she cries now and again – she’s going through a nasty divorce – and my comforting is in no way sexual. We’re the same Rock of Gibraltar to each other we have always been. But few would understand this. You sound like a mature human being and a good friend. Note: I have never met a lesbian who was ‘converted.’ We don’t recruit – who in good conscience would try to seduce someone into a lifestyle that is so difficult? Trust me on this one, folks – if it’s just life, we’re everywhere because we’re part of society. If you want us for just sex, you won’t find us. We don’t like being used to satisfy prurient curiosity.

    Are you sure they are looking at you in a sexual way, or are you reading something into it because of your own bias? If it’s the former, you have the same remedies available to you for sexual harassment that anyone does. If it’s the latter, they do. I think your problem with the screamed response was the result of a semantical mistake. When you are describing yourself in relation to people who are different from you, simply say that some of you were straight and some were gay. The powers that be in our society who are experts on human behavior discarded the idea that homosexual behavior equals abnormal behavior years ago, and we need to change our words to reflect new understanding.
