friends help: my best friend just told me he was gay! - Help.com

just support him and dont freak out, and let him know you dont mind that hes gay

Tell him it doesn’t change anything

just be like i knew you were gay love, he wont be offended he obviously trusts you enough to be the first one he tells

He trusted you for a reason. Just keep being as you are with him. Good advices have been posted.

just make lil cute jokes

its not a big deal shes just worried about freaking her friend out, its very difficult for someone to comeout, society might be semi ok but parents, friends may not be so accepting

Wow, I had a best friend who did the same thing to me…broke my heart b/c I was interested in him…

I know exactly how you feel. My best friend came out a few months ago. And like you I was the first he told. I didn’t believe him at first cuz he said it through a txt message. But I told him I knew for awhile that he was gay but I wanted him to tell me himself and I support him 100% he’s been fine but has gone through alot with the people in school making fun of him but I back him up and they back off.

yeah thats pretty lucky, my friend he came out to his parents and they freaked out. the kicked him out and stopped paying for his college, the school had to let him go he couldnt start the semester. and he cant work to pay it off its 30,000 a year. the took away his car and stoped paying for his dorm he has no place to go. cell phone, everything. it was really sad, but on the bright side he has a new bf and hes living with him

the hardest part is with the parents thats sad they should love him no matter what he is. My gay friend is lucky his mom supports him and so does his father but my friend doesnt understand how hard its going to be growing up he’s only 16 and he has his whole life to worry about.

haveing a gay best friend is alot of fun but mine gets all moody all the time and now I’m not the only one who can PMS haha he thinks he can too now that he’s gay. He’s changed alot over the months but he’s still the same boy I’ve known and loved since the 3rd grade haha

If you’re a girl, this should be a good thing for you, and if you’re a boy, I wouldn’t care.

Listen everything he has to say and then smile at him, showing him it doesn’t change anything in your relationship. Let him trust you.

Well you could try ‘Me too!!!!!!!!’ but although that would take away some of the pressure he might faint

ha ha ha

It’s not so much as you say as what you do, just support him and don’t treat him any different because he’s gay, because I don’t think over one day he’s all of a sudden completely changed
