    Ok so I've never really went into depth about my life, (especially the part about me being gay and all) so here I go. A while back when I was in my old school I told my two friends that I am gay. I was so happy to be able to talk openly about my crushes and about my feelings.
    Then I went to a new school and everything changed. Me and one of them drifted apart and the other shares more time with her then with me. I made two new friends that I love even more then the first ones. Only problem is, now I'm scared I might lose them by coming out. One is very religious and the other has said before that she didn't understand how two men could love each other. Although she has not spoken about women I feel that she would say the same.
    I want to speak openly about my feelings with them but I risk the chance of them leaving me. If I don't tell, they will no doubt still be my friends but I won't be able to say how I truly feel.
    Anyway, if anyone is willing to give me advice that would be great but if not that's fine too. Thanks.

    I'd tell the other, non-religious one first, and then tell the religious one with her/his support.
