Like the title says, me and my girlfriend are both female. We have a friend, who upon meeting, we really enjoyed being around. Shes nice, she’s thoughtful, ect. Problem is, she’s EXTREMELY religious. **Let me preface that being religious is not inherently a bad whatsoever.

I typically surround myself with a supportive atmosphere for obvious reason: i want to be myself freely.

Well, this friend of ours asked us to pretend we arent in a relationship around her because it makes her uncomfortable. I dont understand how she believes thats a valid thing to ask someone. We hardly show affection in public at all, besides holding each-other by the shirt or arm from time to time. If anything, we just look like close friends.

She never had a problem with how we act around each other until she found out we were dating. Its simply because she knows we’re gay. And she always puts on this nice act when she tells us to stop, but if anything, id rather someone yell obscene things at me than look at me like im something that needs to be changed and saved. Im just so damn peeved by this. The world doesnt revolve around her, its 2025, stop ignoring that gay relationships exist.

At the moment, im sat in the car with them both, trying my best to keep my cool.

Aita for wanting to not hide my relationship around her? Im so tired of her passive aggressive homophobia.
