1.You have the ones who are speechless at first and then say “Oh wow it’s so nice that you are able to be you”
I never know how to respond to this one because who else would I be other than myself?
2. You get the ones who automatically think you are crushing on them.
No honey, you’re not my type… Don’t flatter yourself to much.
3. Then there are the ones who instantly bring up their LGBTQ+ relative
I want to be like, cool Becky, just because I told you I was a lesbian, doesn't mean I care about your gay relative (unless they are my type).
4. Next are the ones who ask you every question possible… “So when did you know? Have you always been gay? Am I gay?”
Don’t get me wrong! I love questions, honestly I’d rather questions than you just assuming. Just don’t ask me about my sexual experiences…because I WILL NOT TELL YOU.
5. We can’t forget about that guy who, once they know you’re a lesbian, say things like “so which girl is the hottest in our class?”
In my opinion this guy is a total ass. Like dude we sat next to each other for math class… I’m not going to tell you if I think the girl in front of me is hot (even though she totally was).
6. The know it all's… these are the ones who say “Ha, I always knew it.”
Dear this person, STOP! Let the person feel comfortable coming out. I know when I came out and people said that, it made me feel so self conscious.
7. Finally we have the ones who say “Okay, cool” and then they go on with life.
In my opinion this person deserves a medal. In today's society you’d expect more people to be like this but sadly there aren’t enough. Life is tough, especially right after you come out, and having that one friend who stand by you no matter what and doesn’t care who you love or like are ones worth keeping.
