質問: givenの意味 q. strict parents, bisexual best friend: i’m an 18-year-old girl living at home with my very conservative parents. they are very against gay people and seem to think they’re all monsters. i’m not able to live in the dorms when i go to college because my mother is afraid i’d end up with a lesbian roommate who would rape me. she also proudly recounts the time she talked a friend into a gay conversion camp. my problem is that my best friend is bisexual. i want to have her come over to study sometimes, but if my parents found out she’s bi, she wouldn’t be allowed in the house, and i don’t want her to have to hear my parents on one of their rants about how gays want to adopt children just to molest them. is it possible to maintain a secret friendship with her or is it better to wait a few years until i move out of my parents’ house? a: i can’t imagine it would be very comfortable for your friend to study at your house if your parents are that often given to making wildly homophobic statements. givenは「好きな」でしょうか?よろしくお願いします
