so it’s one of my best friends’s birthday in a month. she’s going to this hotel an hour from where we live. it’s supposed to be her, me, our other best friend, and this one girl going. the thing is, i cannot stand the fourth girl. idk why my best friend is even friends with her bc she knows i hate her. i’m very far left in terms of political beliefs, and so are my two best friends. this girl is very far right, however. she has literally told me i’m going to hell for my sexuality, argued with me about christianity (i’m an atheist, so are the other two friends), and asked what my sexuality was just so she could laugh and say “that’s so funny to me” like why though? idk what to do and i’m definitely going on the trip bc i’ve been friends with both of my best friends since i was 5 n i’m not about to miss her birthday. any advice is helpful

Had a situation just like this. I was a closeted trans guy with a trump supporter sitting next to me during lunch like it was nothing. None of my friends had the balls to stand up to her, and i ended up doing it a day before my birthday and walked away from the group. In the end, all my pals in the group ended up approaching me and we ended up reforming the group without the girl. I didn't feel bad for excluding her. She was extremely homphobic, racist, and overall a terrible person.

My advice is approach your friend and really talk about why this person should not be welcome in the group. Homophobia of any kind is not tolerable. It's not about different opinions, but a difference in morals, and morals are things you DO NOT compromise on. If the friend still doesn't listen, its hard to say, but perhaps you need to walk away from them. People who don't prioritize your comfort and literal safety are not people deserving of your friendship.
