Oh man...*sigh* the whole weekend was spent her being spoon-fed and absorbing this rubbish...jesus christ. I mean, um ....shit (hate to *blaspheme!!)
I think you handled it pretty much the best anyone could have. It's kind of up to her at this point, I guess.
Cos it's like, she's just had her head filled with all this rubbish, so of course the first thing she does is go out into the world and...spread it. Not excusing her, but I almost feel sorry for her - again, it doesn't make it ok. But I'm thinking that underneath it all she's confused. She probably walks away from the indoctrination camp 100% sure of her anti-gay convictions, then talks to you and (as you say) gets stumped, awkwardly fumbles and doesn't have clear answers.
Hopefully that's enough to make her realise she doesn't know everything, so at the very least maybe she should pipe down a bit and be a bit less....zealous.
Cos most of us go through stages of trying things out, right? Figuring out who we are, so hopefully she's just doing that. It's just that when we're young and open minded we're also easy to be taken advantage of, manipulated and have our brain's warped...
Anyway....You done good, as far as I can tell. Nothing more you can do, I don't think.
IIN to break a 10 year friendship after one horrible conversation?

Cheers for your response, I'm hoping this is just a phase and in time she'll realise that homophobia is not a pre-requisite for Christianity.
