    So I told another one of my best friends (girl). I waited a while to tell her because I thought she might react badly. She has a strong Christian upbringing and I didn't really know her standpoint on homosexuality.

    I was very happily proven wrong!!! All my doubts were unnecessary because she was extremely supportive and even said she'd thought about a lot because she'd had a crush on me in 7th grade but figured out I was gay. Lol. I'm really glad because I anticipated this friend to be a road bump in my coming out but she wasn't!!! WOOT! :slight_smile:

    Congrats on coming out! It is always nice when you get better than anticipated reactions.

    Well done. I have a few friends who are conservative who I haven't told, two really. I know I should, and imagine doing so, but the conversation never goes that way. I don't meet him that often now that we've graduated, but would occasionally meet him for coffee. Last time I did, I had planned to tell him, but he'd called another mutual friend with us.

    But congratulations again, you've reminded me that I should tell him.
