I came out to 3 of my classmates yesterday. 2 of which didn't really have a response but I could see the looks on their faces in my rear view mirror (we were driving to the next town for a school thing in my van) and they seemed uncomfortable. The third classmate surprised me by being genuinely impressed with the courage it took for me to come out, and she verbally acknowledged my internal struggle with coming to terms with my sexuality. She game me a most heartfelt congratulations and I was so surprised I didn't really say more than thanks at the time. Later that night I texted her saying how much her support and acknowledgement meant to me. She told me how she has a couple family members who have been in my situation, and she saw first hand the struggle they went through. She said she considers me a friend and she's there for me if I ever need her. Warmed my heart!!!
