I (14) have already told all of my close friends that I am pan and gender apathetic. All but one, that one being a very openly homophobic friend. (yes I have already considered dripping him and it is not off the table). I would like any advice any of you can give for my situation. Thanks in advance to anyone who answer.
Give me your hot takes.
I will go first.
We should not just assume that someone is straight. In other words there should be no "default setting."

I have just recently come to understand and accept the fact that I am Bi. Though this is not the story of how I came out (that is still yet to happen), this is the story of how I figured out I was Bi. I have a close female friend who I watch anime with. (For context I am 14 male and feel little attraction to my friend [also 14]). Anyways, we were watching a show called Moriarty The Patriot together when a character named Sherlock comes on screen and my friend is like "he's hot." I Agreed with her in the fact he was conventionally attractive and we went on with the episode. That evening, I was scrolling on Pintrest and I saw a fan art of Sherlock and my heart I kid you not literally skips a beat. Up to that point in my life I had not found any male actually attractive, but after that point I realized I was misidentifying what I felt. I had thought what I was feeling was something else. After that day I have found many more examples of guys who I find hot, such as the Youtuber "Snook." He recently face revealed and dam he is hot. Anyways I thought this story was funny and worth sharing. (I am very interested in hearing anyone else's stories like this one.)
I don't know what to do, and I need help. I am 14 going into freshman year of high school and recently came out as bi to one of my close friends, but the rest of my friends don't know yet. I want to tell the rest of my friends too but I don't know how. I would be happy with any advice you can give me.
P.S. I think most of my friends are accepting of the lgbtq+ community, but I do know one of them is very homophobic. I would especially like advice on how to explain it to them.
Thank you in advance for any advice you give.
