    I'm out to all but family. I've told one cousin though and I'm guessing another one knows. I think my mum knows too but I'm too scared to tell her just in case she doesn't and starts freaking out.

    I consider myself to be fully out in that I'm out to everyone who matters to me. I don't flaunt it, I don't hide it, and don't deny it.

    I'm only out to my friend, my best friend, her dad, my mom, two classmates, and one person I regret telling. So seven people. I've yet to come out to the rest of my family and I dread the day I have to.

    Still enjoying the scenic wonders of Narnia... :lol:

    I am out to a woman (who is married to a woman) who is a cashier at my regular grocery store. I came back from Pride, fully decorated with beads and buttons, and she asked if I were LGBT.

    I'm not as rigidly "in" as I was once, however. But I think it would be best if certain people in my life didn't know, and they have too much connection to others (e.g., Facebook).

    Plus...I don't have anyone super close to me right now. No super close friends, no close family. And a part of me considers the "relevance" question. The major relevance I see if if I have a serious relationship, although at that point, it becomes less about whom I want to screw--to put it crudely--and whom I have a relationship with.

    I think some might have guessed, or, at the very least won't be horribly surprised, if/when they learn I'm gay. I've become outspoken at times about LGBT issues.

    I'm only out to a few people, and one brother (only family member).

    I intend to come out to parents on January 15th, if all goes well. And publicly sometime in late August 2016. So hopefully by this time next year I'll be completely out as male.

    Shh...no one knows.

    Well, my parents kind of know I've been questioning my gender, I think, but they don't know that I identify as Non-Binary. As for orientation, since i'm still questioning, I guess I'll tell them when or if I'm in a relationship.

    99%. I try and keep it quiet at a job until I can tell how supportive people will be, but that's the only place I'm not completely open about it.

    I class myself as fully out in my head, but in reality, my family knows nothing, and I'd rather keep it that way for now, at least. I don't really have any need or desire to ever tell them. Of course, if I married a girl or made a serious commitment to someone of the same sex, I guess I'd have to tell them, but right now, it's not a problem:slight_smile:

    I'm not out, but I wouldn't hide my sexuality in terms of ' I like this woman' or 'I like this man'. I think I'm going to wait until after sixthform for my gender, I was going to at my birthday but my university sign up is around then so I wouldn't want anything to go wrong.
