  • 1:Be open-minded. 2: Be willing to talk and listen. 3: Be inclusive and invite LGBT friends to hang out with your friends and family. 4: Don't assume that all your friends and co-workers are straight. Someone close to you could be looking for support in their coming-out process. Not making assumptions will give them the space they need.
