I don't want to be too detailed out here on the wide open internet, but long story short: I was just told that a friend of mine is just finding out that she is gay, or bi, rather. I'm guessing that this is both a happy experience (she's fallen in luuurve) but maybe also a bit traumatic.
Anyone who might have any good tips or insight on how to help and support, please pm me! Thanks

oh yes, and avoid questions like: is it different? who's the girl? is it a fase? don't you miss a p.n.s?
Just treat her the same way as if she was with a new BF. You couldn't be a greater friend than that.

+1 everything papaver said. Just be the same friend that you have always been. She's the same friend that you have known and loved.

An extra hug and an "I'm happy you're in love" couldn't hurt
