It's not as easy as it sounds. I am going to give you three suggestions WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR FREIND COMES OUT TO YOU...!!

Here is the very first thing you should say to them
I CARE ABOUT YOU. I CARE ABOUT OUR FRIEND SHIP. THAT HASN'T CHANGED. Then talk ask questions and be honest. The next day call your friend just to talk.
WHY.??
You know they probably be feeling a little lonely and scared for losing this relationship. A simple phone call will shoot the breeze share things complain about home work this can go a long way reassuring your friend. That you are not going anywhere.
If your are not a phone person shoot them a texts instead. Just stay in contact.

RESPECT YOUR FRIEND PRIVACY
It's possible that you are one of the first people if not the first person your friend has told then it's true it is super important and dont spread this around.
It's there news to share when they are ready. Don't tell to anyone they are really very likely to be nervous and sensitive about how people find out and they would make sense, this is a big deal.
That's brief information on the subject. If your friend seems upset or unsure when you guys talk direct them to these three awesome resources.
