I came out to some of my friends today and it went well

So I 20yo aroace guy, came out to a few of my friends today via video call by just hanging my large ace flag prominently behind me. Somebody recognized it and commented on it in a private message, and the others also later talked to me about it. They were all very accepting and I learned that some of them are also LGBTQIA+, which was cool. Also one of them said in an off-hand comment that aces are LGBTQ+ which was very validating with all the "discourse" currently going on, even though I don‘t personally consider myself part of the community.
