A lot of good advice here and I wish you the best. Coming out isn't easy and although as iGary and Chip say, it's a heck of a lot better now than it was 25 years ago.
I would just caution you to be careful around your friend. If she wants to pull back then that's the way it's going to be until she can come to terms with it. Pushing her might just alienate her more and could cause problems in the long run.
