.....or something equally childish.
I realised a couple of days ago that I've been 'dumped' by a friend. A couple of days before that she came along for a drink with half a dozen other friends, that I'd arranged. She's been a bit frosty with me lately but I invited her along, sent her a couple of texts saying 'came you come?' and then to let her know which night seemed to suit everyone. She had plenty of time/chance to say "no, actually I can't stand you anymore and don't want to come." Evening was all very civilised, although she was a bit cool with me still.
Day or two after that I noticed she's removed me as a friend on facebook. (don't you just love facebook?). I use it very rarely, but is a good way to keep in touch with a friend abroad, and I'd been on it on and off over last week or so, talking to him. That's how I noticed she'd gone from my friends list, and knew when she'd removed herself.
I'm as sure as I can be that it's because she found out, six months ago, that I'm gay. We were very good friends, texting/speaking most days and seeing each other at least one a week. She swore at the time that she was ok with it, I was her friend and that was that. But since then she's been cold on and off, although she's not wanted to talk about it further (I did offer early on, but she refused unless another friend came along to "support" her. I said I'd rather not discuss it with anyone else for the time being, so we reached stalemate there.)
I suppose I've really got the hump because she's not spoken to me, or even sent me a text saying 'actually, i don't like this and I'd rather we didn't see each other anymore.' I didn't say anything about it when we went out few days ago, was on my best behaviour because I thought maybe she was thawing and we might be able to get back to being friendly. She was a good laugh and I miss her company. But she's decided to 'unfriend' me now without a word or given me the chance to answer back. Am 
about that.
So wise MNetters, please can i let her tyres down?!
(apologies for going on a bit)
AIBU?
To want to let her tyres down?!.........

She wanted to bring a friend along to "support her" because you are gay and offered her the chance to speak about it?
Excuse me, but did you say gay? Not "mass murderer" or that you wanted to hit her but gay? Since when did discussing that call for a need a friend to "support" her? 
What does she think you'll do? Seduce her? Oh the vanity of the woman!
You've been good enough to be her friend all this time, your sexuality is only your own concern and she's an utter cow. You are damn not unreasonable!
TheDogs, could cheerfully hit her now 
(goes off chanting 'dignity, dignity...')
Salmotrutta ha! I like your thinking...... Maybe that's it - it all came out because I pointed out someone I fancied - she was horrified because she thought the object of my affection was an ogre. Perhaps she's got the hots for me herself and it devastated by my lack of taste...
Bet that's it polly - she fancies you but realises she isn't the one
Yes, she's not talking to me anymore because I've just killed her to death. Oops.

Kewcumber - your brother isn't related to my MIL is he. She thinks all unmarried men are gay. 
well he could be - at last count his ex-wife, me and one of his two daughters are gay by his reckoning. Do you think its catching? 
LOL - Oh definitely catching 
My MIL is a bit loopy - i hope DH hasn't inherited her interesting characteristics
