    I want to come out to my uni friends, but one of them is Muslim and I'm worried she won't Accept me :frowning2: I know that if she's really my friend, she will, but still, I'm so worried :frowning2:

    Is she outwardly religious? If she's more liberal, she may not mind. As you said, I'm sure if she is really your friend she will accept you. Ultimately though, we all know that religion can very easily clash with homosexuaility, so at least you are prepared if she doesn't take things well.

    If she does react in a bad way, accept that her religion is obviously a big thing for her. But hopefully, she would accept that your sexuality is a big thing for you. Perhaps the fact you think you need to tell her, may show her that you value her as a friend to tell her, and that may hold in more favour than you think.
