So you've come out to your friends? Congratulations! Feel proud! Coming out takes a lot of courage and strength! However, some friends might not be very accepting and they might call you things like "weird" and "freak" or even vulgar words such as "f**" or "queer."
In my opinion, they shouldn't be your friend if they're not going to accept you for who they are. However, don't get ahead of yourself. Before you do anything else, you should try to educate them on your sexuality and/or gender. If you've tried before, then you could explain to them that if they won't accept you, then you can't be friends and that you're ending the friendship. Just remember not to put yourself in a dangerous situation and make sure there is someone there to support you. Feel free to discuss down below in the comments, I'd love to hear your opinions and what you would do in this situation!

This is amazing advice! I am an ally, therefore can’t relate, but can imagine and empathize for you all in the LGBTQ+ group!
