I immediately came out to my husband, who wasn't all that angry or even surprised.  I think he'd suspected from day 1, and in fact had his own issues about sexuality.  I came out to my best (platonic) friend, who said "I knew you were going to say that".

 I have to second this, when I finally came out, the few close friends I had and even my own mother ALL went, "yeah, I can see that." Which actually just made me feel more stupid - It was like everybody else knew it before me.
