Ok, I am a 24 year old woman and my best guy friend, who has been one of my closest friends since I was 16 just told me that he is gay. He says he has known since he was 18, but has been sort of denying it to himself, and has not told anyone except me. (I am his only female friend, and we have some very judgemental male friends) You would not guess it at all by looking at him, but to be totally honest, it did not really surprise me. I can't for sure say why, but I had a feeling all along. He made me promise not to tell anyone, because he isnt ready, and I swore I will not. (He just met someone a few weeks ago for the first time) My question is: How can I help him through coming out? He has been the best friend to me, and I know he is very scared at this point, and confused. Are there any books on the subject? Any words I can share with him? I want to be prepared and supportive, as this obviously doesn't change my friendship with him. Any advice would be appreciated. thank you!
