Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : A preface: normally I wouldn’t use a throwaway, this isn’t a huge deal even if I acted like a jerk during it. I’m just on a discord server with a lot of reddit users and if I posted this on my main they would roast the fuck out of me. 

So, to begin with, I’m a straight, cis high school girl. I’m not bi or trans and as the post title states, I’m certainly not a lesbian. But I am very progressive and have a lot of LGBT friends, one of them being a girl I’m just gonna call BFF for now. She *is* a lesbian and we aren’t in a relationship (she has a gf) but we’re super close friends. Since she’s out and we’re so close, a few years back there was this huge annoying rumor circulating about how we were dating. We weren’t. We couldn’t convince anyone we weren’t, as hard as we tried, and it died out naturally. I am on kind of frosty terms with my BFF’s gf because of it though, who’s not possessive, but she is paranoid. I like the girl and all but considering her dislike of me I wouldn’t really be friends with her.

So. It’s junior year last week, all the shitty dating rumors evaporated a while back, and me and my BFF are in the hallway just chatting before school ends when this guy I’ll call Kevin (courtesy of the infamous Kevin meme) struts into our zone.

Important fact about Kevin: He’s an asshat. A certified dickprince. He hits on girls constantly unaware of just how much they loathe him, and he’s been eyeing me up for a few days. I knew this was coming, but I was just hoping to ignore him.

He begins to try and put the moves on me with a bunch of stupid comments about my face and butt and how we should copulate. Infantile and dumb. My BFF and I try to walk away from him, but he keeps following us. Finally, out of frustration, I blurt out at him “I’M A LESBIAN!” In hopes that he’ll leave me and my BFF the fuck alone. He doesn’t immediately, makes a bunch of dumb comments about how he could turn me and how we should make out, but it’s obviously pretty discouraging and he leaves like a minute after I say it. So I’m standing there, pretty smug and self-satisfied at how I handled the situation, and then I notice my BFF is frowning at me. I can’t remember exactly what she said but to paraphrase, it was something along the lines of “That was kind of dickish of you, Kevin’s going to tell everyone that you’re a lesbian and they’ll all think we’re dating, [her GF] will get pissed-“ (my BFF and her GF are in all different classes so it’s not common knowledge that they’re dating) “-we’ll have to ward off all the rumors again, and if you date guys in the future that just gives people more reason to think that lesbianism is something that can be changed.” She also went on about how calling yourself a lesbian isn’t a get-out-Of-being-hit-on free card. 

Initially I thought she was overreacting, but after reflecting on it I can see why she’d be mad, and I think it’s possible I was a bitch. So how about it Reddit, AITA?
