        It's a process - I came out to my best friend when I was 14 (1975), I came out to my family when I was 17 (1978), I've been functionally out to EVERYONE since I moved back to Canada in 1986 (I was 25).

              It’s now about 10 years since I came out aged 18… never looked back!

                If I added up the tines I "came out" – once in grade school at age 12, to several friends in high school, to roommates and study buddies in college, and in the working world -- it would be a multitude of years.

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

                  Same situation.

                  I regard myself as 'Out' now but it was a process:  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.
