Was he lying this whole time?
In middle school and freshman year, A guy friend-who is very worried about what people think and is a compulsive liar-of mine used to just randomly and somewhat nervously bring up stuff about homosexuality, wide eyes watching me cautiously for my reaction. Behind the scenes though, I found out that even though he was expressing homophobia, he was actually curious about it as shown by liking the Same Love music video, I guess trying to figure out what he believed and what he was. Sophomore year, he's more settled with himself, acts as if he doesn't really care about LGBT anymore. But if you ask him what he believes, he says "I don't approve of it, I think its disgusting" and then goes onto explaining how he feels about LGBT things and why, but seeming overall a bit nervous. He seemed tense and nervous for my reaction when he told me that because he wasn't turned gay that he believes gay people were born gay, went from solemn to mischievous to hand gestures then to giggling when he started explaining why and denying fear as the reason why he wouldn't read my essay about LGBT. Does it seem that he's lying? And if so, why do you think he would lie to me?
