history:  I have a friend who came out to me about their sexuality. I was the first person they had ever told other than the people that they dated. We rode in the cab_comma_ and my friend looks at me with the most serious face and tells me they are Bi-Sexual. Though they said they usually only date the same sex and they hadn't ever told anyone about it. Your friend must trust and care for you a lot to confide in you like that. how did you react?
current: I told them that it didn't matter to me, and I still loved them like family. 
next: That's good. you must have been surprised by the confession.
