How can you handle when friends aren't accepting of you being LGBTQ?

Sometimes people don't understand what it's like to be in the LGBTQ+ community and won't be very accepting at first, but often people need time to understand and accept you for who you are. When I came out there were a few people that had a problem with it, but eventually, they realized I was the same person they were friends with the day before and they loved me all the same. It's important to remember who you are at times like this and to never be ashamed for coming out and being who you are. Things will get better.

I guess if they can't accept you, they're not supposed to be your friends. If someone on Earth doesn't apreciate your true self, send them away. It might hurt you, but you're better off without them.

That might be harsh but friends come and go, so I suggest leaving them and finding new ones that are accepting.

You need to find new friends, if they were your true friends then they would,be accepting of who u are

If your friends don't accept you being who you are, maybe you should rethink if they really are your friends. Real friends love you for your personality, sexual orientation should not be a factor.

Well, if truth be told, if someone is truly your friend they will accept you no matter what. Of course, for some people it can take a bit more time but they should be able to love you for who you are and to appreciate your diversity. If they aren't accepting no matter how much you try to explain you're no different than them, then it might be time to meet new people.

Luckily we have our own community of understanding and friendship. They aren't true friends if they don't accept and love you for who you are. But fortunately there are a lot of people out there who will. You just haven't met them yet.

It is nothing to accept for anybody. It is your life, that is you and your characteristics. If they are not okay with me being LGBTQ, for me, they are just not my friends. So there is nothing to handle.

If they are actively against it, then let them go, it might hurt, but it'll be better for you in the long run. It won't be good to keep people around that dislike you for who you are.
