I came out to a girl and her reaction goes like this: “YA HABIBI YO2BORNEH TIZO *she grabs my butt* you’re my new bff”. The awkward thing is that we’re not that close and my best friend who’s a girl doesn’t even consider touching my butt.. and she did.

I got exactly halve of these reactions, plus the following story:
One of my straight guy friends asked me if I were interested in him when I came out and when I told him that I wasn’t he called his best friend on the phone and yelled “DUDE I JUST GOT FRIENDZONED BY A GAY GUY” and hung up and yeah now we’re very platonically close.

When I came out to my best friend she was like “Are you 100% sure or is this just a phase?” And that is why I LOVE her.
