Finding lesbian relationship advice and support can be hard. I have had a friend who was a lesbian and she complained often about not being able to find supportive people around her. Although I was supportive of her, being a man myself she wanted to have females around her who could relate to how she felt. I could not be that to her and she often felt very lonely and did not know where to turn. She was always asking my opinion on some issues and I could not always help her out. I mean I liked straight women and she liked lesbian women. They are two totally different worlds from each other.

I honestly did not know what to tell her as I watched her suffering with dilemmas. I tried to be there for her to talk to but she was not comfortable telling me everything. We are still good friends to this day and she had finally come to realize she is great woman. She used to feel ostracized from others since she was different. I always told her being different was a good things and not a curse. When she needed support and advice she learned to turn to good friends and express her concerns. I was there as much as I could be and we went to many places together where she meet people she could relate better to.

Now she turns to her friends who are also lesbians for guidance and advice when she needs it. She had never been around any lesbians growing up and had so many questions but was not sure who to ask. Her mom was not at all supportive of decision to be a lesbian and offered not support at all. It only made things that much harder for her. When your own mom turns on you then you really feel alone. Her mom always says it is a phase and wants her to snap out of it. Now that she has other lesbian friends she has met she has others to talk to and ask their opinion on things ranging from lesbian issues to any other thing you can imagine.

It shows you that just because people are related does not mean you can count on them to be supportive of your choices in life. She has to turn to people she hardly knows to ask them some life questions because her mom shuts her out and it is so sad. She still struggles with her mom to this day and does not know what to do in that area of her life. It is hard for her and I can only imagine how she feels. Being her friend I try to be there for her as much as possible to talk to and support her. So I guess friendship is a place to turn to when you need advice.
