Im desperately wanting to come out to my closest friends. I recently realized im bisexual. The issue is that my trio including I are Christian, and bc of that, im worried they'll hate me if i tell them. Ive tried coming out to one of them already, and she just worried and said quote: "pls dont do this just because youre lonely" and "this isnt like you." So it didnt go well, and now im scared to actually tell them via our group chat. Please help.

I had this problem one too, as im Non-Binary, Bi-Sexual and Irreligious. My one friend tried to convert me, calling me a sin for being all these things as he's Christian. We were close, and had alot of good memories. But I made the quick choice that if he didnt accept that then he wasn't worth being friends with.
My point is, if they cant accept you are they really your friends? I get they may not be happy, but if they try to change to mind, I wouldn't hang out with them. Don't be afraid to wear your titles with pride. People shouldn't have to be scared just because of other people's beliefs. While it's important to know when to not tell someone something, it's also important to believe in yourself, and be proud of who you are. I hope this helps.

If they're real Christians, they shouldnt hate you for who you are. The Bible instructs Christians to love all.

Update: I opened up to them, since I recently got a gf. They still dont support the whole gay thing but they're happy for me even if they think its wrong.
