Remember that it must be the individual’s decision when and to whom
to come out. Don’t tell the person to do one thing or
another; he/she could hold you responsible if it doesn’t go
well. Do listen carefully, reflect back the concerns and
feelings you hear expressed, and suggest available resources for
support. Help the person think through the possible outcomes of
coming out. Support the person’s decision even if you don’t
agree with it, and ask about the outcome of any action taken.
