I went to a group exercise class today at the gym and there was a tense, awkward social situation. I'm friends with two people John and Sarah (fake names). They're acquaintances I've known at the gym for years and chat with, I get along well with them both.

John is a infamous stirrer, he likes to troll/take the piss out of people for fun/laughs but its neve malicious. Sarah is a nice lady in her 30s, down to earth and a lesbian.

Beginning of the class John said I was stranding beside Sarah so I could check out her ass (he was joking) to which I replied 'she's not my type'

He then shouted oh "he said you're not his type', then thought the rest of the 45 minute class sarah and john were kinda ganging up on me, jokingly asking why I wasn't her type. This was incessant and they wouldn't leave it alone.

I thought Sarah had a thick skin and wouldn't give a shit what I think, which is why I said what I said. I began to question in my mind if what I said had upset her, I was confused if they were trolling me or is she was genuinely upset.

this started to get awkward and tense, other people in the class were quietly listening, not saying anything.

After them asking me why she wasn't my type/what girls I like, I blurted out without thinking "what does she care, she's not even into guys" Sarah seemed surprised that I knew she was a lesbian (I heard it through the grapevine) she then loudly announced to everyone "yes that's right im a lesbian" afterwards she seemed a bit offended and went kinda quiet, she asked how I knew, later on she walked out of the class for a minute or two came back and left as the class ended.
