Q: The decision to come out is a personal one. If you suspect someone you know is gay or lesbian, don't just ask them about it out of nowhere. If this is something they want to talk about with you, they will bring it up themselves. If someone comes out to you, don't say, "Ew, really?", "Uhhh, ok," or even, "Yeah, I know." Coming out can be scary and may make the person feel vulnerable. If someone who is just starting to come out chooses to share this part of themself with you, it is a huge gift of trust. Thank them for confiding in you, and remind them that you care. You might also want to ask, "How long have you known?" or "Has it been hard for you to keep this secret?" if they seem willing to discuss the subject. Often gay people themselves can be confused about everything or are still finding themselves. Don't press any farther than the person lets on. Don't press if they seem uncomfortable, and don't ask any personal questions about their sex life or specific individuals they may or may not find attractive. While it is admirable that you want to learn more, identifying as gay or lesbian doesn't mean that a person wants to hold straight people's hands through the process of learning to understand LGBT people. Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they are responsible for being your guide to LGBT+ issues. Some gay and lesbian people won't mind being a resource for you, but you should not assume this to be the case. If you know a gay person and think they might be open to answering some of your questions, politely ask them. If they say no, back off respectfully. Life can be hard for LGBT+ people, as they may face discrimination, bullying (even from loved ones such as family members), self-hatred, and confusion. They may even be having suicidal ideation and/or have attempted suicide in the past. If they are having a hard time, offer them compassion and acceptance. They may really need it. This should hopefully be obvious, but you should never use gay or other anti-LGBT slurs. It is important for straight allies to the LGBT community to use respectful language when referring to gay and lesbian people. It's true that there are a lot of different words for referring to people in the LGBT community. If you are unsure whether a particular word is incorrect or offensive, or aren't sure what word is appropriate, be safe and don't use it. If someone refers to themselves as a certain term, do not assume you can. It is different for who is saying it and who it is about. . Empathy is the ability to feel with someone, rather than for them; it is the ability to project yourself into the experience of another person. If you are not sure how to respond or treat someone in a given situation, ask yourself, "How would I feel if I were in this person's shoes?" Recognize that your heterosexuality gives you advantages in life that gay and lesbian people do not have, and that bigotry against LGBT people can inflict significant physiological and psychological damage. If you truly empathize with someone, you should not want to cause them any kind of pain.
A: Give them their privacy. React kindly if someone tells you they are gay. Understand not all LGBT people want to answer your questions. Support them if they are struggling. Use appropriate language. Be empathetic

Q: Discard any leaves that look wilted, worn or discoloured. It's common practice to discard the outer leaves since it is the most exposed to dirt and damage. Rise it under a stream of cool water. It's extremely important that you rinse the cabbage thoroughly as most farms use pesticides and other insecticides to keep pests and diseases away from their crops. Organic cabbages should not have been grown with any pesticides or insecticides added but it's still important to rinse and clean your cabbage to rid it of any dirt, insects, eggs, or sand that may still be on your cabbage. You can also consider soaking your cabbage in saline water or plain water for 30 minutes to better clean it. It is common to slice the cabbage wedges into long, slim shreds but you can boil your cabbage in any form or shape you prefer. You can also boil your cabbage in wedges. Shred the cabbage on a cutting board by placing it flat side down. Slice as thick or as thin as you want the shreds to be. Use a mandolin if you have one. This kitchen utensil will allow you to shred the cabbage by sliding it across a sharp blade
A: Peel off the outer leaves from the cabbage head. Rinse the entire head of cabbage. Shred or chop your cabbage into the desired shape.

Q: Have them make the call and report the driver. Do not try to talk on the phone while you drive, or you could put your life in danger. Move to a safe shoulder off of the road or into a parking lot. Make sure this is a safe place to stop your car for a few minutes. Only call the police once the car is stopped and parked. In the US, this number is 911. Describe the car to the police and tell them where it is headed. Give them as much information as possible about the car. For example, you might say, "I'd like to report a reckless driver. There's a black SUV with Virginia plates speeding down I-40 west. I'm near mile marker 95. They are swerving between lanes, and I think they may be dangerous." Tell them the color and make of the car as well as what road you were driving on. This will help the police be on the lookout for this driver. Some states and local governments have special lines for reckless driving. For example, in Colorado, you can call *277. Look up to see if your state has a similar service. If the vehicle has a "how's my driving" sticker, you may see that there is both a phone number and ID number. Call the phone number, and provide the vehicle's ID to lodge your complaint. You can say, "I'd like to report truck #555. They were tailgating my car and then they made a rude gesture to me as they passed my car." Similarly, If the reckless driver was in a company truck, car, or vehicle, you can report their bad driving to their employer. You should only do this if the driver was in a clearly marked company vehicle.
A:
Ask your passenger to report the driver. Pull your car over if you do not have a passenger. Call an emergency number if people's lives are in danger. Call the police's non-emergency number if it's not dangerous. Call the phone number on a "how's my driving" sticker.
