    Ok, I live in San Antonio, Texas. I have told all my family except my father and his gf. I also came out to a family friend that is openly gay and his bf too. Basically, I have no experience with bad coming out and am afraid of it. I do not know if my friend is homophobic or not, but she is really nice. She lives in Houston, Texas and the only way I communicate with her is texting and calling. I feel that I should tell her that I am a lesbian since she is my bff, right? I just guess I have coming out jitters. What do you think I should do? :icon_sad:

    Maybe try and find out what her opinion on LGBT stuff is before you tell her. That way you'll have a better idea of how she might react, and therefore be more prepared. Less scary when you know what to expect, right? If she's a good friend and a good person I'm sure you'll be just fine, and the kind of person who reacts badly isn't the kind of person you want in your life anyway x

    If she is truly your best friend, then she will love you for you. If she takes it wrong, then she was never relly a friend. In life you have to be surrounded by those who will always accept and love you, especially when it comes to love. I wish you the best of luck <3
