Well the other day one of my very close friends told me that she was a lezbo i mean lyk i totally support that n all but i feel wierd what should i do?
You should be flattered that she told you; it can be very difficult for people to come out of the closet, particularly to close friends. It's often easier to tell strangers than people who have known them for years.
It'll take you time to adjust, but if you truly support her you WILL adjust. Let her know you're okay with the situation, but you just need to get used to it. It probably took her YEARS to adjust to her sexuality. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

FrEe2bMe answered Monday September 13 2004, 9:37 pm: Well, first you have to totally admire your friend for having the courage to tell you. Whether it seems like it or not to you, that's a really big deal. It's okay that you feel a little weirded out by all of this. That's pretty natural. Don't let that ruin y'alls friendship though. You should tell your friend that you appreciate and respect the fact that she felt comfortable enough to share such a big thing with you. Tell her that you "totally support" her as you stated. Tell her that this doesn't effect y'alls relationship you still feel the same about her but you just need a lil' time to get use to it! She'll totally understand! :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
thirteen answered Monday September 13 2004, 8:12 pm: just act or try to act normal around her. i have a lesbian friend and im totally straight. i just act normal, if she gets weird im like dude please backoff.
if you want you can talk to her about it and stuff...like tell her that you are soooo okay with her being a lesbo just so long as she dosnt start falling for YOU becoz thatll make you feel uncomfy or something... the onie other thing you can do is be there wen she needs you and keep supposrting her like you are now...wat more can a troo frend do...ya noe?

Just go with the flow and im sure after a while you will forget about it and just accept her the way she is. I mean hey..there's nothing you can do about it riight?
LostCanadian23 answered Monday September 13 2004, 5:41 pm: You dont have to do anything. If you support it then whats the problem? its not like shes gonna try and hit on your anything and if she does explain to her that you are straight and that you only think of her as a really good friend
Mercy_x_Me answered Monday September 13 2004, 5:11 pm: tell her you feel 'wierd' .. and just say that'll take some time to adjust. just to add lesbian is unnatural and you have the right to feel alarmed [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]

Joking over, you can't change your friend's sexuality, it's great that she had the courage to tell you, but it's none of your beeswax my dear. It's not a big deal - so she's a lesbian. It doesn't affect your friendship. [ Magenta's advice column | Ask Magenta A Question ]
Toxicxoxo answered Monday September 13 2004, 12:41 pm: I have alot of friends like this. I know how it feels. It is VERY uncomfortable. but if you learn that they havent changed, except in the fact that they are intimate toward same sex people it will be easier. Just try to block it out and act like she never changed. She really is the same person inside. [ Toxicxoxo's advice column | Ask Toxicxoxo A Question ]
Mandybrat17 answered Monday September 13 2004, 11:12 am: Dont feel weird shes still the same freind you knew before just now with out being straight shes gay. No bigy dont act differently around her then she'll feel uncomftorable and soon you'll ruin the freindship. Just as long as she doesnt make any moves on u u should be fine. Hope i helped drop one if u need anything else
