so for context, i’m a 17 year old boy and my friends is a 17 year old girl. i’m gay, and she and i have been super close since freshmen year so almost three years now. basically, im a really touchy person so i hug my friends, i hold their hands, specifically my girlfriends hands but my guy friends too. it’s literally never been a problem because there is literally zero romantic attraction nor romantic intentions behind that.
so basically, one of her family friends who i thought was a friend of mine told her parents that he saw me and her holding hands more and thinks that im going to rape her. for context, both of the families are EXTREMELY religious, like almost cult like so. my family is religious too and i was raised in a christian household, and i also associate myself as a christian, even though im not very devoted to Christ, (which im working on) so both of their families got together and talked about me to her and were telling her that i’m dangerous and i’m going to rape her etc.. and keep in mind i am literally fully gay, and aside from that, i would never do anything like that, at all.
i’ve been a victim of rape twice in my life so hearing this from a bunch of people has been significantly messing with me and my mental heath. essentially, they’ve been telling her to stay away from me and that i’m going to rape her eventually and that i’m just a horrible person. and i talked to that “friend”who talked to her parents and asked him why he thinks that and he said that “it doesn’t matter if you’re gay, you have a penis and she has a vagina.
you can also rape her.” and i responded with “so her dad could rape her?” and he LITERALLY SAID “yeah when i’m a father im gonna stay away from my daughter a lot because i might be tempted by sin.” LIKE WHAT???? keep in mind that both of these families are EXTREMELY religious. and the other day, her mom waited for me after school and hid in the band room to talk to me and started yelling and berating me to stop being friends with her daughter and that i have to stay away from her.
mind you, she was getting all up in my face and putting her finger right up in my face and i was just so fucking pissed. and also, okay this might seem a little weird but like yk that meme that’s like “im gonna touch you.” ? it’s something like me and my friends say as a joke and like, it’s so very obviously a joke because we don’t like each other like that and it’s supposed to be something stupid or something idk whatever. basically i texted that to her a WHILE ago and i completely forgot about it but they went through her phone and now they told her tha it was disgusting seeing what i tell her. mind you, obviously they wouldn’t know it was a joke but like… bruh.
people joke like that, maybe it’s a teenager thing but literally everyone i know says stuff like that with their friends. and now they’re taking away her phone and laptop and isolating her for the summer because they think being away from me is going to help. and they threatened to move her to a different city so we can’t see each other. like dude what the actual fuck.
i just don’t know what to do but we’ve been texting in secret on her sisters phone, who knows the situation and agreed that her parents are being a little insane right now. i’m just trying to steer clear of it all but am just really confused on what to do.
they’re also a chinese household, which as a kid from an also asian household, i just don’t know wha to do. my parents aren’t like that and i just like, i understand that a lot of asian parents have those cultural roots but i wasn’t raised with those roots and just don’t know how to deal with it. please help
