I want to ask this to all the JUBers who are ¨out¨: Are you really ¨out¨ at home, work and with friends?? Or only on the internets??

Myself, I don't recall ever posting I'm out, but in reality I'm only out to one person in the entire world (my psycologist :().
 
yes.
and altogether the experience made me a much much weirder yet calmer, happier, more down to earth person.
 
Considering that I have been living with my man since we were 19 years old and have 3 children together, I had better be. Even the PTA at our sons' school is very familiar with who we are. You don't get more out than that, do you?
 
Hmm, lets see:

My family know: Xmas present have been addressed to both of us for ... ever.

His family know: Ditto re the xmas presents.

Our friends know: And some of them keep pestering us to tie the knot.

Our work colleagues know: And enquire where the other one is if one of us aint at a do.

Even the friggin man in the street knows: We've hosted fundraisers at our home that have been widely advertised in national magazines (ok its a small country).
 
I'm out completely. Or atleast i used to be. I currently work for a non-profit in SA that is religious funded but technically secular. So i can't be as out as I'd like since i signed a contract saying that while at work i must behave according to the rules set by the Catholic church. But all my friends know and so does my family. My bro is totally ok with it. My dad and sis are getting much better with it. But sadly my mom will not accept it at all. But my boyfriend's family loves me, so i'm at peace, i guess
 
yes.
and altogether the experience made me a much much weirder yet calmer, happier, more down to earth person.

When I came out I felt an odd calmness too, like I could truly be myself finally.

The question though: All my family and friends know, and everyone I work with knows.
Now I don't out myself to everyone. If something comes up to make them ask if I'm gay then I tell them I am.
 
Yes, I am. Everybody close to me knows and those who don't know need only ask.

There's one person I wouldn't tell is one of my teachers. She finds grounds to fail you (no matter how stupid) if you are friends with a homosexual. So I'm going to keep my mouth shut there...
 
Aye. That, or I get the second opinion I'm entitled to according to the rules of the faculty. Still, she doesn't need to know. (teachers seldom do)
 
I've been out long enough to tell my mother when I grew up I wanted to marry Han Solo.
My boyfriend's parents know considering we own a house together and his mother buys us things to put in the house (and they let us use their timeshare for our vacations).
My office knows because I have a wonderful picture of him on my desk.
 
I'm not as "Out" as I could/should be. I don't fly a pride flag or have a rainbow bumper sticker on my truck, nor do I wear my being gay on my shirt sleeve.

If someone should ask, and if I feel like it's any of their business, I usually tell them. Sometimes I don't.

My partner and I live in a small rural community, and I'm certain that almost everyone knows that we're a couple. We both have high-profile careers and it's never been an issue... kind of like don't ask, don't tell.

Both of our families know, and all of our friends do, too. When we're not together, people are always asking about how the other one of us is doing, so I guess that's a good sign. That and the fact they haven't burned any crosses in our yard and tried to run us out of town. All in all, I guess you could say we're out, but we're not... does that make any sense??
 
Not out to anybody.

I've always been too slef-conscious to do anything... I don't think I could handle it.
 
I came out at 38 after being married and having kids. The only people who do not know yet, are my parents and my kids. I am very concerned about telling my kids, as for my parents if i get a serious partner I will tell them, other then that I am really not concerned if my parents know or not.
 
I've been out at a job I had and some people I knew but not my family.
 
i'm out to those who i felt "needed" to know. everybody else...i just let 'em think what they want. i don't like, advertise it, but if those close to me don't realize by now that i like dick...well they're either in denial or even more clueless than i am.
