How should i come out to my best friend as bisexual?

[fredy]

Im 15 and a guy and so is my best friend. We have been best friends since we were like 6 years old. And we afe very close friends. But i want to come out to him as bi, the problem is that he is homophobic he hates gay. Once we were playimg truth or dare i asked him "What if ome of your friends was gay/bi would you dump him?!"
And he sadly answered "I would make lots of distamce with that guy"
Then he noticed i was sad and nervous so he asked me if i was bisexual i denied it bcz i had no choice or i loose my best friend.
I dont know what to do he is my closest friend and i trust him a lot but i dont know if i should tell him im bi or not? How could his reaction be?
And should i even tell him?!

Thx for your help

if he asked if your bisexual, he may already suspects you. if you come out bi to him, and he rejects you, there is no point in being friends. you should come out if you feel most comfortable.

If he's that close to you, you definitely should tell him. You can't keep it a secret all your life and he'll probably be more hurt if you lie to him for years. Just tell him straight out. If you explain to him your situation and reassure him that nothing will change, I'm sure he'll be okay with it

I wouldn't tell him if he's homophobic. that's a disaster waiting to happen. you don't have to tell anyone honey, that's private details of your sex life. I have a feeling though he already somewhat knows, but prefers to keep it "in the closet", so he can continue being friends with you, and you should do the same if you tvalue the closeness of this person. if you are dreaming of turning this person, don't. he doesn't have the same chromosomes you have, It would be just raw sex, and then,,
shame and staying away from you, and you don't want to lose his friendship, or be heartbroken in that way. I hope that you will build other strong friendships.and get your mind off him so much. are you active in the gay community? try to date just for fun, go to the next town or city away if you don't want everybody knowing. coming out should not be a pressure on you right now. you need more years under your belt to grow stronger and have more confidence in your right to be happy. good luck honey xxxxx

If your friend is homophobic, don't come out to him. If he can't accept you for who you are then he is a waste of a friend.

My best friend (Who I also knew since I was 6) was Homophobic also. I only know because he refused to go to starbucks with me on one occasion because he was protesting how they were an equal opportunity employer and recognized gay marriage or some other bs. I never planned on telling him I was gay, but my brother did and he didn't believe it. And I always had pictures of me with girls on my facebook so he convinced himself I was dating them and always sent me messages telling me he was proud that I had such an attractive girlfriend.

After that I just broke it to him that she wasn't my girlfriend because I was actually gay. Then he affirmed that he was fine with it and had a gay friend.

One of my friends also recently went through a similar dilemma with telling his best friend that he was Bi, since he knew his best friend was homophobic. His friend, after being told, completely dismissed his homophobia.

As much as people say they dislike LGBT folk, it's generally just because they don't know any. Most people rethink their Homophobia when someone close to them actually comes out as gay.
