try and wait for your friends to settle with the idea of you being gay. or you could try and talk to them and tell them, that one thing has changed. Not everything.

Bex,
I'm so sorry that your friends did not take your coming out well ((hugs)). There is no reason for them not to like you anymore. You haven't done anything wrong, girl! You're still you! Vicky is right: you need to talk to your friends. Have a serious conversation with them, no anti-gay jokes allowed. Show them that you are the same person you have always been. You have a right to be true to yourself! Mention some famous LGBT celebrities to get the ball rolling. Do they know that Lady Gaga is bisexual? In fact, that's why she wrote "Born this Way!" Remind them how happy you are with your girlfriend. Everyone deserves to be loved! I doubt they would like it if they were told they couldn't enjoy the company of their boyfriends. Let them know that you are not trying to hurt them. Bring up some happy memories that you guys shared. Don't be too pushy or demanding, just tell them, plain and simple, how you feel and allow them to process the information. If you want, you could explain that being a lesbian is a biological disposition, not a choice. Above all, though, Bex, emphasize the importance of friendship. I really hope they come around. I'm sure they will in time. Best wishes! Nicole :)

Hey, i recently came out 2 my friends and i had a few who didnt accept me either. I confronted them, asking what was wrong, that i was the same person as always, and that if that made a difference to them than they werent my friend in the first place. some apologized, said they didnt realize that they had been doing that, and some said they wanted nothing to do with me. But, they arent your friends if they dont accept you.
