That's a tough one. I would just tell them exactly that; That I don't look at them different. Sorry I'm not much help, but I don't know how else you would tell them.

I think it'd depend on context. For instance, when my friend came out to me, I told her that her sexual orientation made no difference -- she was still the same friend I'd known for years, still the person I trust, care about and respect. It was something along the lines of "you're still you."

Not sure if that really helps. Just be honest and say whatever is in your heart.

Couldn't agree more. No matter what happens, they are still the same person on the inside.
