Yeah, I get the sentiment, OP. The friendship does become awkward when your friend has this really stupid and aggressive attitude towards a huge group of people... IDK what to advise, really. I have plenty of homophobic relatives, but obviously it's different. You can't just ignore your friend's ideas the way you ignore you grandma's.

Still, your secret is very vague. Perhaps your suspicions are unfounded? I suggest that you talk to your friend. If they do turn out to be aggressively homophobic, it may tell you something about other aspects of their personality and whether you want to be friends with them at all.

Even if her friend was homophobic (I'm not saying she is), she'd probably just deny it anyway. I think most homophobes don't consciously know that they're prejudiced.

It depends, I think. And in any event, I didn't mean for them to ask their friend something like "hi r u homophobic??"; of course nobody but the most extreme radicals would call themselves that. But the homophobes I know are pretty open about the fact that they are opposed to gay marriage/adoption/don't like talking to gays/don't like gay characters. And the subtler forms of homophobia... well, tbh, I can't think of anything subtler than disliking gay characters that would still qualify.

But you certainly do have a point. It just comes down to what OP considers to be homophobic.

Ahahahahahaha. No.

Both kinds certainly exist, but a lot of people feel really comfortable in their bigoted skin!
