It's late and I got nothing else going on, so how about a story?
I was good friends with this Baptist guy in high school, let's call him Dave. Despite my flag, Dave was kind of lax though, knew what he was talking about for the most part but was the "well at least you believe in the God in the Bible!" type of guy, so that was something we bonded over among other things. Not trying to say all Baptists are sodomites with this story I'm telling or something, but I wanted to make this long tale somewhat /christian/-related. Use it to your nefarious advantage if you'd so desire, whatever. Anyways, after I graduated I didn't really see Dave again because I went to college and he just stayed at his job full-time so we didn't really hang out after that.
So fast-forward about a year and a half later and I bump into Dave at the supermarket and he obviously says its been forever and we catch up and shoot the shit. I noticed he's got a pair of earrings and he's wearing skinny jeans which was a bit of a caution to me but I remember Dave's older brother is a bit of a dirtbag who dressed like such so maybe he just took after some of his dumb looks. I mention that the end of the semester is in a few weeks and I was looking for work and Dave said to put an application into where he works and put him down as a reference. I agreed and we went off to continue shopping and moments later I forgot to ask for his contact info for it, so I dropped the ball on that one.
A few days later, I was hanging out with some friends on my Thanksgiving break and one of them is a mutual friend of his so I bring Dave up and ask if they have his number. She asks me if I'm trying to hook up with him, which I thought she was just fucking with me. However, she told me that Dave is "different" now, that he came out as bi-sexual. She said that started telling people after his ex-girlfriend's dad called him a faggot and his daughter was probably going to tell everyone anyways. Now, the past two ex-girlfriends he has had were landwhales for lack of a better word so maybe I should have sensed some hidden tendency there, but it gets worse.
My friend said that a few weeks back while her brother and his friends were doing some heavy lifting around the neighborhood so they called Dave to help out, and he shows up crossdressed; painted nails, handbag and everything. Then she tells me he was online dating some guy all the way in Africa, so Dave's pretty much gay at this point. What was once someone I considered one of the few people I could have a theological conversation (or argument when it came to how "boring and false" my Mass was) with and also once vocally said in class that the T should be taken out of LGBT is now a crossdresser.
I have an incomplete application on my computer right now with his contact info on it and I don't know if I should send it or not. I'm somewhat convinced to just text him and try and talk sense into him but I'm not sure if I'm in any place to after barely talking to him after a year and a half and if it'll have any effect. What the fuck could have gone wrong in less than two years? Was I really that blind not to see anything? I don't recall him hitting on me or anyone else saying anything about it. I'm kind of hoping for advice on this as well, but whatever.
TL;DR: One of my best friends from high school who was very conservative and religious is now a gay crossdresser. inb4 "nice blog".
