My friend needs help?

My friend (not the one from my previous posts) is a devout Christian, nothing wrong with that.

We are currently rehearsing for our college production of taming of the strew. She is playing Katherine. Due to a lack of male performers a girl has been casts as Petruchio. They are both required to kiss at the end of the show. My friend is really unhappy about this as it goes against her beliefs (Sexual interactions between 2 people of the same gender). We have all told her that technically the character she is kissing is Male, however she claims that although the person is pretending to be male they are a female and ultimately they are kissing a female. We have also told her that it is just a performance, however she has said how god judges her all the time.

AIBU to I think my friend needs to get a grip. And that there is a difference between playing a character and reality.

Also how many Christians are against homosexuality, just really want to know the truth?

keeps on saying that it is wrong and why society is so warped

Sorry, why are you friends with someone who holds views like this?

I reckon she was scared she'd like it, if she's not agreed to it.

@calllaaalllaaammma we funny know if the friend is homophobic. Maybe she is fine with other same sexy couples, just not happy kidding a person of the same sexy herself.

I find it bizarre that you're "looking at it from a Concent and #MeTwo viewpoint. Our our character development has been done looking at this theme"
and yet you're forcing someone to kiss someone they don't want to.

Is irony part of it?

What's Bonnie and Clyde got to do with anything?

And why does she need a starring role for her grade? You can't all be stars.

She should step down, she wasn't being made to kiss, she was required to fake kiss for the role. How uncomfortable must she be making the other actress with all the bigotry she is spouting.

@FuzzyPigeon
