How the only girl I ever loved turned me gay without her knowing.

I posted this the other day in r/straightturnedgay and was told some of the people on this sub would be interested. So here’s the true story of how I turned from being attracted to girls to being attracted to men:

I fell in love with my best friend Kate when I was 18 years old. She was cute, smart and fun. Beautiful beyond words. Long black hair, tight abs, firm big boobs and hips any guy would die for. I truly loved her. However she was quite a strict moslem, or so I thought, I knew she probably wouldn’t want to be together with me.

At a week long school trip to Italy I took all my courage together and confessed my love to her. It was a nice romantic sunset at the beach, just kate and me. She started to cry and said she really liked me but since I wasn’t a Muslim we could never be together. I was devastated by that but I kind of expected her reaction. The last evening of the trip the whole class went out for some drinks and I just went along to drink away the sadness.
