I regard myself as 'Out' now but it was a process:Β  coming out to myself, coming out to trusted friends, coming out to my family, being out in the workplace.

I think of myself as living out now but there are new people I meet who aren't informed yet.

I dislike the concept of the Glass Closet where celebrities aren't actually 'Out' until they make an announcement on the cover of a magazine.

To me, it's not a single point on a lifeline, but I might just interpret "coming out" in a different fashion than most.

In 1985 I came out in high school when I was about 15ish.

I kept trying to change it till about 20, then I just accepted it coming out to everyone after.

Oddly, my super religious Catholic family was super supportive but my Backwards Baptist other side rejected me utterly.

She heard I was kissing a guy in the park. Shouted at me for it. I told her he was my boyfriend. She slapped me in the face. I shouted "I'm gay" louder.

Think she was more annoyed about the guy I was kissing who is now my ex who I live with.

My friend asked if I was gay and said he didn't care if I was or not. I came out to my parents about a year later and they didn't have a problem with it either.
