When I came out, it was first to my friend who’d recently come out to me as lesbian. I was expecting her to probably be confused and maybe not entirely supportive, but I felt like I needed to let someone know. To my surprise, she knew what asexuality was and was incredibly supportive, asking me about my romantic orientation and sharing some resources that helped her when she was discovering her own sexuality. I’m not out to anyone else yet, but it was awesome to feel accepted and understood like that. (F/15/Heteroromantic Asexual)
