When I came out as pansexual, I told two of my friends first, because they were interviewing me (I interviewed another friend and found out they were non-binary) and asked about my sexuality. While I was extremely nervous, these two friends are also LGBTQ+, and I knew they would be supportive. As expected they were, and accepted me immediately. Because of this positive experience, I was able to come out to most of my other friends, many of which are also LGBTQ+, but I still have not come out to my parents. (Demigirl/Pansexual)
