I knew it!
(I didn’t know it at all)
How liberating to say it out loud
What does it feel like to say it out loud?
Thanks for letting us know you better
I’m super proud of you
There is no part of this that isn’t perfect
Authentic AF
Woohoo!!!
Congratulations!
This is amazing and wonderful
Welcome to the community

Happy that you’re wanting to share that with me
New things can be scary so I’m glad you can trust us
What a wonderful thing to have uncovered about yourself
Unsurprisingly, I am crying
This makes me so happy
I’m really happy that you’re happy
I’m so pleased you told me
Thank you so much for sharing this with me
I hope you are feeling good
I love you
Do you still fancy me?
I love you and am so proud of you
I hope it goes without saying that this changes nothing
Here’s to joy and freedom and being exactly who you are
As we’re here, me too!
I’ve always been attracted to women, I just hadn’t been brave enough to admit it.
I feel a lovely chat coming on.
Wondering if you’ve got all you need
If you ever need to talk about things I can do a listening
Wondering how long you’ve been carrying that, and how that was
Who else have you told?
I hope everyone you have shared it with has been warm and understanding
I think it is wonderful
I’m so happy for you
I feel very lucky to be your friend.
