Also, one of my close friends recently came out as a lesbian, and has been slowly telling more and more people she trusts. She's always been involved in a church down here, and she told her youth group leader, who, along with a couple others from the church, proceeded to lecture her about how homosexualism is a sin and she's going to hell.
Note, these are the people that she grew up with and helped her through some significant life crises. So she was pretty much in complete shock that they would say that instead of accepting her.
It never stops to amaze me how people can do this, like the person who just came out suddenly transformed into a totally different human being instead of the person they have known and liked for years.
Also, reddit has a lot of LGBT subreddits in case she needs/wants to rant to some anonymous people who have gone through similar things.

That's good. Chances are her school has some kind of QSA she can get involved in.
And it was mostly the Adele part that was pathetic. :P I like her but by god is her music depressing.
There's blues and doom, 2 musical (sub)genres based around sad, depressing songs. Those songs also tend to be the songs with actual meaning (See Pink Floyd's I Wish You Were Here for example), so yeah, listening to sad songs isn't pathetic.
Also, listen to
this. After that Adele won't seem so depressing anymore.
