My friend told me she used to be bi, but now hates lesbians and bi women?
I told my friend (lets call her Hope) that I was bi a while back. She was cool with it and told me that she used to be bi until she met her boyfriend.
Recently she has gotten into gay porn (my fault because I introduced her to it) and she is really into gay guys now. She told me she had sex with her boyfriend but nearly jumped this guy i got intiment with (of course me and the guy werent in a relationship). She pushed me to get into a relationship with this guy, and now that i have she doesnt want me to have sex with him, but she told me that she had sex with her boyfriend all the time and that she gives him oral all the time.
Now that her obssession with gay porn has gotten really bad and she loves to show me pictures or make me watch videos when i dont want to( I have nthn against gay men, I just dont want to see it). Now, she is bad mouthing lesbians in front of my face and It makes me feel bad sometimes. She says two women together is gross and unatural. She even told me that if I became a full lesbian she would never talk to me again. When she starts talking like this i just try to bring up the fact that I have been with women before to try to remind her that I am bi. Most of the time it works, but i still feel bad that she things that part of me is gross.
Lately, she told me that she lied to me. She told me that she was never in a relationship with this guy. She told me she never had sex or gave him oral. I was shocked. She was crying and everything so i forgave her. But still she talks about lesbians like they are dirt and it really pisses me off because we both have friends that are lesbians and it hurts me that she could say these things. Expecially when she said she used to be bi.
So my question is, is it possible that she could be lying about being bi in the past? Is there anyway that i can talk to her without damaging our relationship? Do you think it is weird that she supports gay men and not lesbians?
I dont want to lose her as a friend. We have been through so much together and she is like a sister.

It seems that your friend does not want to upset you, so tries to impress you. When you told her you were bisexual and she said she used to be, it must have been to impress you, comfort you, or support you. I mean, if she doesn't like woman/woman relationships, she wouldn't be bisexual. So of course she could be lying about that.
Second, you can confront her at a time when you are both calm and relaxed. Tell her how you honestly feel; perhaps confused, frustrated, and feelings of mistrust. During the conversation, it is very important that you validate (or understand where she is coming from) her feelings by acting interested in what she has to say, telling her you can understand how or why she feels/acts the way she does, and not interrupting her. It is also important, though, that you are honest with her and don't push away thoughts you want to discuss, but are scared to. If you can rationalize and negotiate with her while validating her feelings/actions, everything should go smoothly. Be sure to use an easy, gentle manner when talking to her to avoid an arguments. Try not to use judgments or ineffective language/behavior while talking to her, to ensure a smooth conversation. If she is a true friend, she will accept how you feel and not get enraged by how you feel.
Lastly, it is not weird how she supports gay men but not lesbians. It is wrong how it seems she solely bases it off of porn, though. From what I've hear, gay porn is more romantic, while lesbian porn can be very graphic and gruesome, not to mention having two women making annoying high-pitched sexual noises. Your friend is straight, and therefore may find gay men "okay" and attractive because she is attracted to males. Just think; a lot of men are attracted to two women making out, but if two men were to make out, most men would find it non-masculine and disgusting. Your friend seems to be the same way, but okay with two men instead of two woman.
I really hope I helped! Good luck!(:

Your "friend" Hope sounds like she is unbalanced -- and her behavior sounds a lot like histrionic personality disorder. She was probably one of those twits who pretend to be bisexual to get attention, and then decided to flip over to Good Little Het Girl when she couldn't find another girl to play her games. At the moment, faunching over gay men gives her something to act out about with NO risk of actual sexual involvement.
I think you should drop this chick like a hot brick, because she clearly has no respect or kindness for you as a friend and is only likely to cause you trouble.
I think she needs professional counseling, I really do. Don't take her barbed comments seriously - find other friends.

It seems like she is probably a lesbian and doesn't want to be, so she acts like being lesbian is disgusting and watches gay porn to try and find men attractive, she's I'm permanent denial and the only one she's really hurting is herself

i think that she might be in the closet because if he doesnt like lesbians then she might hiding what shereally feels. im in the closet and no one knows im gay but when family or friends start talking or watching gay stuff on series or movies i get very uncomfortable. dont talk to her yet because she might feel weir around u once u tell her.
