First of all, I HOPE you've forgiven yourself for that awful night. Sure, you got drunk which is pretty bad -- and I'm not excusing it because I'm a recovering alcoholic and we DO have to take responsibility for our actions -- but you apologized and made amends - so it's over with. If she accepts your apology, great! If she doesn't there's nothing you can do about it, and you have to move on. Nothing more you can do about it.
But I don't think you're giving her enough credit. From the sounds of things, I think she HAS probably forgiven you, and I think she understands about your sexual orientation. At age 25, I doubt she's so naive to think that you and she could POSSIBLY have a relationship! I certainly would HOPE she's not holding out hoping that you will "change."  But I highly doubt it. 
I don't see why you'd have to avoid your mutual friends for heavens sakes! That's not fair to anyone. Go about your normal life, and see who you want to! If you run into her, so be it. It doesn't mean you have to pick up where to left off -- perhaps you can resume your friendship, but I don't think I would hang out with her as OFTEN as you used to. Let her pursue other interests/people too -- don't be her only contact. She needs to branch out more -- maybe she has.
Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
