Sorry if this seems spam-y but it's need for celebration.
There's someone I know that I've admired for quite some time and I've always wanted to call myself his friend but was worried that I was making it more than it was. I got to hang out with him today, and outside of establishing the fact that he considered me a good friend, I came out to him (without crying from anxiety) and he took it so well. Some of the things he said in response were ignorant, but the kind of ignorant where cis people are really just trying to do their best to be kind and understanding and so I let him know he was appreciated.
He's the third person I've come out to face-to-face and he was the one I was most worried about, so I feel very good right now. I don't know what I would have done if he would have taken it badly.
