How do you tell a friend that you're a lesbian?

Answer 1

just like you tell your parents your gay i did it by asking them"What if i told you i was gay what would you say about it and would you support me?" and if they said no then they are not very true friends and if they are ok with it then just tell them if they are your true friends they will understand when you tell them. i suggest sitting them down in a quiet space and just explain that you arent particularly interested in the opposite sex. Hopefully they will understand or maybe they already had a feeling you could be.

Answer 2

The best way to "come out" to a friend is to tell her the truth. Just tell her that you have a secret to share, and you don't know how she will take it. You have to TRUST her. If she's truly a friend, she won't mind, and will support you. You should expect some surprise on her part because it's is a big confession. On the other hand she may surprise you by saying, "I know". Let her know that you treasure her friendship.

You do have to tell her. If she finds out from another source, she will be upset that you couldn't trust her enough to tell her and uncomfortable. Don't be afraid of who you are, and keep on showing your individuality and personality. There's nothing wrong with that. Be true to yourself.

There are some "Friends" who say that you can trust them, and that they're your best friend etc.. but at the point where you actually blurt out the truth, they turn there back on you and change, I'm not saying all the humans out there are like that, im saying some are.. be careful on who you trust and if you think your ready and your best friends ready to hear the truth then you should just say it, without any twists and turns.

The best way to handle it is to take it slow. Have you ever told them a secret before - and nobody else - and suddenly your secret was all over your school? That's NOT the kind of friend you can tell something so important.

Once you know for sure that you're mentally prepared to "come out of the closet," and once you can rely on your friend 100%, approach them. Find a private place and make sure that they know right from the beginning that they can't let anyone else know about what you're going to tell them.

Then, just tell them. I know this sounds cliche, but if they really are your friend, they will respect you for telling them and not become unattached. If they isolate you and/or tell others about it, they were never really your friend and you didn't make sure that they could be trusted.

Good luck!

Answer 4

If your friend is sexually attracted to the same sex, as well as to the opposite sex, then, your friend is bisexual.

Otherwise, unless you ask your friend if they are bisexual, or they tell you voluntary. Then, it is difficult to tell.

This is because men and women who like sexual contact with the same sexual partners usually keep it a secret from the world (men with men / or women with women).

In the case of you telling someone that you're bisexual, you have to consider one important fact: Does this friend really care about me as a person as well as a friend ~ and will this friend support me and be a true friend no matter if I'm straight, gay, or bisexual?

Answer 5

It is not your place to determine the sexual orientation of other people. That is something she has to figure out on her own.
