When you find out that your closest friend is a lesbian!!! Im totally all for gay rights and freedom to be who you want to be but I feel really left out of the loop because apparently Im the last one to know!!!
We have been friends for most of our livws (22 yrs), we went to the same school, dated friends...prom....Europe together...she was maid of honour for my wedding.....best best friends...or so I thought. i feel really upset right now, I mean I wish she could have told me sooner I actually dont know how to even comprehend the information right now...oh God and I ve just given in to eating alot of bad stuff...I have to get back on track...
Thanks for letting me vent...Im sooo confused right now

First, calm down! Breath in and breath out....
Ok, so your friend is a lesbian. She is still your friend. She just, uh, does things a little differently than you in the bedroom! Think of it like that. She is probally really worried that you may reject her. She took a big chance in "coming out". Most people who are gay stay in the closet for years, sometimes all their lives because they don't want to risk being ostrasized by their loved ones.
I know what I 'm talking about. I have several gay friends and they are people too. They laugh, cry, celebrate, and have feelings too. The best thing you can do (after your shock wears off) is to tell her that you accept her and that she is still your friend.
Hugs to you!

OK...... since divine told me that I'm the lesbian of the board and I'm supposed to respond to this .... here goes!!! ROFL....
First of all ..... don't take it personally.
Im really proud of her and Im glad that I know but I must admit Ive been thinking alot today about the past and times when we hung out alot and theres lots of info thats making more sense....eg...she always wanted to stay late at school on certain days with a certain teacher for a chat or coffee....I always found that strange but she says it was her first real crush on someone, just little things popping into my mind...it must have been sooo hard for her, I cant even begin to imagine what it is like.
