Context: One of my close friends is a closeted gay person, and has a very conservative mother they are not out to. They have this habit of making complex webs of lies to maneuver around divulging their sexual orientation, which I completely understand given their family situation and (as I have told them multiple times) I will do my best to support them when they does choose to come out. I've told them that trying to manipulate others through lying is probably not good in the long term, but they have a right to live their life how they see fit.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a few months now, and are currently doing the long distance thing because she lives in another city. She's coming over to visit this weekend for valentine's, and I wanted her to meet my friends (including the aforementioned friend). When I told my friend I wanted them to meet my GF though, they instantly said he wanted to tell her that they and a mutual close opposite sex (relative to the closeted friend) friend of ours (which my GF would meet at the same time) are dating, and pretend they are a conventional hetero couple. I (as well as the mutual friend) was pretty taken aback, and told them I didn't want to do that because why would we discuss their sexuality and if we did, who would my GF tell? They're paranoid their mom would somehow find out and they want to eliminate the risk.

I told my friend I wouldn't lie to my GF (I love this woman), and we wouldn't talk about anything they aren't comfortable with. They later sent me a text apologizing for asking me to lie, and I accepted the apology. However, I'm still a bit pissed because they are not sorry about the lies, but about asking me to lie. I'm finding it harder to trust my friend in general to be honest, seeing how quickly they jump to lying. Am I overreacting here?
