If your friends are true friends for who you are they will accept you no matter what sexual orientation you have.

That depends strongly on your friends. I don't think true friends would ever push you away because telling them what sex you prefer doesn't change anything. If they really care about you as a person they'll support you and nothing will change. Give them time but don't waste your time trying to convince them that it's normal and nothing they have to 'accept' or 'agree' with you. It should be like telling somebody you like playing tennis.

Some will and some will not. If they do push you away, then they are not friend friends. They are not people you need in your life

If they are really you're friends then no they wont. Everyone takes it a bit differently but at the end of the day they should be around to support you and have your back.

Friends are real if they don't care about what or who you are. For sure they will accept you if they truly care for you. :) Do not be afraid to be left by your so-called frineds if you told them the truth. It is just an evidence that those friends you thought your friends, will not maybe real. :)

No. They should support you in every way possible like a friend should.no one should have to keep being gay a secret.

True friends are those who accept you the way you are. You will get to know who your true friends are when you tell them your sexual orientation, so that you can only hold on to the true ones.

Your true friends won't the people whose opinions matter will accept you for who you are no matter what. As for those who would push you away.. they have no right to call themselves your friend.

If they do, they're not real friends. My friends didn't push me away when they learned mine, and I don't know anyone who's lost friends from coming out.

As everyone before me has said, true friends will love you no matter what your sexual orientation. That being said, you never know what people's reactions will be, and that is hard. You might find that some friends don't act in the most supportive way, but that reflects on them and not on you. And I am sure you will have friends who will stand by you. No matter what happens there are people out there who support you no matter what. Those are the people to focus on because they are the real friends.
