Coming out to homophobic people

Hey again. Ive posted on here like 20 times today so sorry if youre sick of hearing from me. So im gay, but im closeted because until recently, i haven't lived in the type of place where it was safe to come out. Ive never actually felt safe about my sexuality. But, we moved recently, and are in a less openly homophobic neighborhood. The problem is that my best friend is homophobic, and i dont know what to do. I want to talk to her about it, but im scared of how she will react. Advice? Past experiences?
