Turning? More like recognizing that one is whatever.
For a lot of folks it's an epiphany, and there is a desire to share with others. Some folks get a little chatty; there's a big difference between thinking about it and talking about it. It's like any life-changing revelation, though, in that it really tends to occupy your thoughts 24/7 as you toss the idea back & forth in your head.
How do you know if you're gay/bi/straight/curious? That's a question only the person involved can answer, and can take a long time to answer - hopefully, not a lifetime. As a friend, the best you can do is listen & be supportive. A lot of stuff may need to be worked out.

The best thing to do is to be supportive and understanding to your friend in this time. They're probably scared about the way they will treated by their friends and family if do infact realise they are a lesbian.
If you are suspicious your friend may have relaised they are gay (not turning, I don't think anyone 'turns gay') then it would be best to leave the situation alone if you are not sure, they may not be. Let them come out to you when they are ready and be a supportive friend.
Just because they like the same gender doesn't mean everything else you know abou them is going to change.

I'm guessing you don't choose to like someone based on who they choose to be attracted to or sleep with.
I usually choose friends by their character, their integrity, their interests and if those things are compatible with mine.
If those things are in line, and they are fun to hang around with, then great! If not, move on, but their burgeoning sexuality really doesn't and shouldn't enter into it.

If it's a friend, support her. Tell her -if it's true and maybe even if it's not - that you love her no matter what. Sexuality is not stagnant, it's a developing thing.....let her grow and support her....

For you: Be there for her. Be supportive, have her back and don't criticize her.
For her: Well, everyone handles things differently. It all depends on who your friend is and her personality.

You don't "turn" lesbian. You are or you aren't. If this person is your friend, then continue to be her friend. You'll know when she tells you.

What would I do? Probably congratulate her on realizing her true nature and wish her well.
