I had a college room mate come out about a year after we all graduated. I totally feigned indignation and ranted and raved, preached to him about residing in the eternal flames of Hades, emphasizing the word FLAME several times. I acted all hurt and sad that he hid that from ME of all people... Then I gave him a big ole hug , told him I was just messing with him, loved him just the same, and congratulated him on having the balls to tell us all what we had all already known for so long. And then we all went to his first drag pageant/event. I know this probably doesn't help but I just wanted to share a similar experience I had.
