Just told best christian friend and she was awesome!

so a few days ago I made a post saying I wanted to come out to my best friends at college because we have been talking about getting a house together. The difficult thing is that they are all really christian. I'm really christian too so most people assume I'm straight. I went over my friends house today cause I really wanted to come out to her (been wanting to for a while) After a few hours of hanging out Her and some friends were talking about a ministry that's starting. We were all getting really excited about the ministry and I said something like. "How bout we make sure gays feel welcome?" Surprisingly everyone agreed. After I was sure she was comfortable I asked if I could speak to her alone. I started to cry and told her I was gay and asked if she still wanted to room with me. She gave me a big hug and said "of course!! And I don't think any less of you!"

I can't believe my friend was sooo accepting. I thought it was going to be horrible.

the only problem is that one of the friends I'm going to live with is insanely judgmental. One time she roomed with a gay girl at youth camp and she said, "I'm glad I didn't know when I roomed with her." If she can't even sleep in the same room with someone who is gay how can she share a house with me?

 

Thank you! I kind of want to be out to everybody. At least all my friends so I think I'm going to have to tell her eventually. Good luck with your friend. I am sure if your friend cares about you she won't care that much. Most of my friends are very christian but they don't really care cause they know I am the same person. I'm so surprised how positive most of the reactions have been. I mean I used to be really involved in the church so this should be a scandal.
