Today, after weeks of summoning up the courage to come out of the closet to my best friend, I told her I was gay. Immediately after she started cracking up, thinking it was a joke. I was so confused and nervous, I went along with it. She still thinks I'm straight. FML

Well, just go on about your life as normal. If any incident were to leave her shocked, just whip out the "I told you so!"

Even though your friend laughed, you should have stuck with it.

I'm sorry OP, my advice, along with many others, would be to try again. I remember when my best friend came out to me and she was extremely nervous thinking I'd reject her, but I just have her a hug. It was actually harder to try and convince myself to call her a man rather than a woman when she decided to change, but all it took was time (:

This makes it easier to next time you try. You can just say: remember last time, that was not a joke. Go for it.

How could you possibly have a best friend that doesnt know your sexual orientation? How close are you two really?

Sometimes the people closest to you are the ones who are the most difficult to come out to, because they're the ones you'd be really upset about being rejected by. I came out to less close friends way before I came out to my best friend, and I still haven't come out to my family. It's a really personal thing, and something that can be difficult to talk about even to someone close to you

Don't be afraid, OK? Just come out, because there's really nothing to worry about it. If you tell her a 2nd time and stick to it, she'll believe you and support you.

Not everyone in this world is accepting but congratulations on attempting to reveal the true you to the world. Take one step at a time I am sure there are people in your life who will accept you for you without trying to make a joke of it

I wasn't thinking and accidentally chose April Fool's Day to come out to my best friend. It sucks having to tell someone more than once for them to believe you!

It's ridiculous that she would even care. That ANYONE would even care whether or not someone is gay. I honestly can't believe how much people give a shit about the bedroom habits of others. And don't let anyone tell you it's "wrong" or "unnatural." Because morality is subjective BS anyways, and pretty much everything humans do is "unnatural." If she is truly your friend, your coming out won't change anything.
