Can’t blame you for coming out with your friend via Facebook; it’s soooo frequent to hear stories about guys that got tragically rejected by their lifetime homophobe besties. You were so lucky to get a good reaction from him.
I’ve never have come out with a male straight friend, only with gals. I did it only when I perceived their reaction was going to be favorable and luckily I wasn’t mistaken. In some cases there was no change in the relationship, I mean, they weren’t particularly surprised or interested in getting the details about my gay life (hookups, dates, friends and so on); in others the fact I was now able to talk freely improved the communication a lot, since I didn’t have to keep making up stories about my whereabouts (example: if I went on date to make it look as if I met a girl, went with a relative or something) and some of them even were eager to know everything about sex and relationships between men (we even went to the sexshop to illustrate everything).
In short, in my limited experience every person is a world apart and while one friend can be supportive and take interest in knowing your real life experiences another would just treat you as if nothing special happened, or even ask you to refrain from revealing the sordid/juicy details of your relationships. I've noticed women are more open and supportive where I live.
Hope everything will work just fine for you and your bestie

. I think everything will be fine. I just suffer from pretty bad anxiety, so this type of thing is hard as hell for me to deal with. I honestly think part of my anxiety stems from being in the closet. so I'm hoping once I get used to being out I can relax a bit and stop worrying about everything...
