Anonymous asked: my best friend just admited that she's a lesbian and she's in a relationship with another girl. she's my bestest friend and i dont know how to react. now its always really awkward :/ help?

look, i’ve very clearly stated that i have a separate blog for advice. a separate blog. okay.

i’m a nice person, so i’ll answer this anyways.

basically, it’s only awkward if you make it awkward. she is still your best friend either way. the fact that she is attracted to girls doesn’t change her personality or what made you friends before. it’s not like you were friends with her specifically because you thought she was straight. it shouldn’t matter.

you also need to look at it from her perspective. GLBT people normally have a very hard time coming out, especially to those they are closest to. you should be happy that she felt comfortable enough to tell you! that’s an awesome step for her, and she will need your support.

just treat her however you did before. it will mean a lot to her that this hasn’t altered your friendship (because it shouldn’t)
