Lgbt; Former friend wants to attend wedding.

My mom ran into one of my former high school friends the other day and made the mistake of telling her that I was getting married. My former friend, L, responded, "hope I get an invite." We both found it odd because I haven't spoken to her since 2012.



We had a huge falling out. L began hanging out with a girl named D who was very against LGBTQ and would say negative comments about one of my siblings being gay. I thought it was strange how D was so against it but had a child out of wedlock in high school and her parents (child's grandparents) would do EVERYTHING: financially, emotionally and physically take care of the child. The final blow was how D sent L a text then showed ot to me and it read "would you rather your kid be a teen parent or be gay?" Then later she called my sibling the F word. After that, I blocked her on all social media platforms and blocked her phone number.

It makes me think of a film called Jenny's Wedding, where a woman comes out to her community and these ladies gossip about how messed up Jenny's parent's must be to raise a kid like that. Jenny's mom overhears and loses it saying "what about your kid who gets pregnant by every passing stranger then leaves you to raise her kids?! Or your other kid who refuses to work and takes all your fixed income?!"

Why do people turn a blind eye to behaviors such as having kids irresponsibly then leaving them with grandma to raise simply bc they are lazy, but then they get mad about LGBT.

I understand sin through religion but I thought whether religious or not, it's wrong to take advantage of others and not raise your kids out of laziness.

    Seems to me L hopefully has matured over the years and found better company. It may have been her way of offering an olive branch to you through seeing your mom. I certainly wouldn’t feel obligated to invite L, but could be a sign she outgrew and matured past her friendship with D (who sounds really messed up) and with hindsight, wants you to know she remembers you fondly. I haven’t had anyone just assume they were invited by the way ❤️

It was irritating, i used covid as excuse for limited people being invited
