Did my friend react weirdly or am I the weird one?

 

So earlier today I was talking to one of my good friend at school

 
Me: I watched this awesome movie yesterday
 
Friend: Really? Which one?
 
Me: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, with Logan Lerman and Emma Watson
 
Friend: Oh God! Logan Lerman is sooo y!
 
Me: I know he's soo good-looking, which is kind of funny 'cause he plays this unpopular kid. As if someone with that face could be the kid sitting alone.
 
Friend: Hahaha
 
10 secondes of silence
 
Me: Oh! and Emma Watson is just so freaking y in it too!
 
Friend looks at me weirdly
 
Me: What? She is...
 
Friend: Maybe, but you sounded like a dude when you said that. Usually a girl would say that another girl is "pretty" rather than "y".
 
What I said: What? But she kind of is y though... With her hair and all. (at this point I was kind of mumbling)
 
What I wish I had said: Can't I compliment another human being regardless of gender or their body? Why couldn't a girl appreciate another girl's body without it having to mean anything. It's not because I go around complimenting that a dog is cute that I want to it....

 

So here's the thing, I mean why did she react like that. I am not homoual at all. If anything I am as heteroual as one can be I believe. But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate bodies or facial features regardless of gender. Am I being weird or is my friend the one being weird? I find Emma Watson with short hair a beautiful, y and appealing woman, I do not wish to slobber all over her face nor to have s*x with her. I simply felt like complimenting her I guess? It's like a nice painting somehow? I find humans walking paintings? :D Some are really well painted.

Your friend is just a bit narrow-minded, that's all. Or a lesbian in denial, we all know that a strong 'no' is a secretive 'yes'.

It's not your reaction that was strange, it was your friend's. It's true that a lot of heteroual people can't compliment another member of the same gender as anything above 'pretty' or 'handsome', because it does make it seem as if you... bat for the other team. No worries. People are like that C:
