She Was My Safe Space—Until I Came Out
When I first came out to my university best friend, she made me feel truly safe. Our bond grew into a sisterhood that lasted years. After graduation, I embraced my identity and found a new queer community in Lagos. That’s when I noticed her pulling away—no more photos together, no follow-up questions, excuses every time I asked. The turning point came at my birthday dinner. Surrounded by friends who knew me fully, she left early, confessing later she felt ashamed of being seen with me. It broke my heart. Our friendship faded without a formal end. Now we exchange polite greetings, but the closeness is gone. I chose to live my truth, even if it meant losing my first real ally.
