Consider why your friend's orientation would even matter to you.
- Does it change your opinion of her? Do you have some fears or preconceptions about lesbians that make you feel uncomfortable? Or perhaps you have romantic feelings towards her? Unpack your feelings and why/if your friend's sexuality bothers you.
- This is a common misconception between girls with a lesbian friend. Lesbians (or anyone) aren't attracted to everyone of a certain gender just because of their sexuality. She's not attracted to all women just because she's lesbian.
- If she doesn't want people to know she's a lesbian, then don't go around telling everyone. But if she's open about it, don't hide it from anyone, because that could make her think you're ashamed of her somehow. If you tell everyone, she will likely angry with you.
-
Lesbians are people, too. There is no need to act differently around her simply because of her sexual orientation. Accept that she's lesbian, and move on. Treat her the same way you would treat a straight person, or anybody else.
- If you were already friends before, none of your behavior towards her needs to change just because she's a lesbian.
