When I came out to my (non-binary and lesbian) best friend as an asexual, they accepted me immediately and told me that they already knew it for a long time but they didn’t want to force me to come out. Instead, when I told my (straight) friend that I am asexual she was confused and although she said that she supports me she didn’t understand what it means to be asexual and also told me that it could only be a phase and that it is too early to say.
