It's unknown until you tell them, it's hard to say "yes" or "no" because people are different, we don't know your friends or how they're like. One thing for sure though, is that whether they push you away or are there to stay, is YOU MATTER. Your sexual orientation is not your personality, your values, or the kind of person you are in this world. It is your sexual orientation. And some people may feel uncomfortable with it, and some people may celebrate it, but no matter what please know that you are worthy and you don't need the validation of other people's approval of what you have defined for yourself.

I myself, have never had to come out to friends, but I am very familiar with the perspective of bing a friend. I've never judged a friend, for their sexual orientation. It's really great to see your friends finally being able to express themselves. I have always felt really happy when someone has come out to me since I see it as them trusting me with that information, especially if they have not come out to everyone in their life. If your friends push you away because you told them your sexual orientation, then there is most likely something else that is causing the issue. It is a separate issue or is a problem with them, personally.
