    I'm not out at all except for on here. I would be but I don't see the point when I'm not sure if I want a relationship.

    I put "out to most people, but not officially out yet". I'm out to all of my friends, plus immediate family (mom and brother), and my immediate colleagues (everyone in the same department at work).

    I'm not out to grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins, and to most of my non-immediate colleagues. And even with those, it's more a question of when I'll come out, not if I'd come out.

    90% of the time I spend with people is spent with people who know I'm gay. So I'd still say I'm more or less officially out.

    Out to one of my bisexual friends (I only came out to her because I guessed she was bi). Probably unlikely to come out anymore, especially after she herself got outed at school (not pretty), even though I'm finding it more and more difficult not to.
    Plus, she keeps dropping subtle hints at school about it. Don't think anyone's picked up on it yet though, thank goodness.

    Out to my parents, four cousins, five friends, a guy I have a crush on, a former therapist and outed (with permission) to one aunt and uncle. So, let's say "some people".

    Mostly out... Siblings are next, and after that who knows. I have no intentions of telling my grandparents or aunt or uncle unless I need to.

    Fully out. You might not know when you meet me, but it'll probably come up one way or another.

    I'm out to immediate family (mom, dad, mom's husband, 3 brothers), my paternal grandparents, my girlfriend (you don't say?), all of the few friends I have, some friends of my friends, my therapist, my mom's sister and her husband, to whoever asks and to most people in my neighborhood.

    However, I still have to hide from a good portion of my family who may or may not have a violent reaction to the news.

    As of today, one person. It's an online friend, but she's a good friend, so she counts.

    And of course EC people! :slight_smile:

    I'm out to my whole school, one of my brothers, one of my church youth workers, and my mother.

    I'm not out at my church, youth group, or other Christian things, and won't come out casually, though if I'm directly asked I won't deny it.

    I'm not out to Dad or my extended family as I haven't the faintest idea how to tell them, and it just doesn't seem relevant when I'm barely 15, although when using my web browser yesterday, Dad began typing in a URL and the first 6 options that came up were from EC!

    I'm apathetic as to whether my other brother finds out.

    To best friends and local friends, to Twitter and Tumblr (to an extent), and to EC. Some people, I suppose.

    Immediate family (Father, mother, younger brother) and 3 friends now.
    I'm out insofar as that I do not hide my sexuality, but neither will I tell every new person or colleagues I met: "Hello, my name is Thomas and I'm queer."
    If people ask I'll tell them, beyond that they can think whatever they want, I'll mind my own and be true to myself.
