Woo hoo! Two thumbs (and a cock!) up for Crowboy! ..|..|
 
Being out is...
... not making an issue of your different life.

Being out is...
... chating about actors and singers with female collegues instead of having to listen male collegues discuss their chicks.

Being out is...
... having "boyfriend" as the most common word in facebook states.

Being out is...
... saying queer, fag or homo and not looking like a homophobe

Being out is ...
... not having to leave boyfriend home when going to visit the family.
 
Being out is having several JUBbers as Facebook friends! The more the merrier.
Being out is making outrageously funny gay remarks to your gay friends and not really caring what your family thinks.
Being out is being yourself.
 
^ Very nice ending! The last 3 especially.
 
Being out is parading your bf around your family at a family reunion last summer, and getting Christmas cards addressed to both of you at Christmastime.

Being out is sending Christmas/Holiday cards back, signed by you and your bf!

I can't tell you how good that feels. This would not have happened 20 or 30 years ago.
 
Being out is chatting with a good friend whose partner is not at the Christmas party, and finding out that his über-"Christian" partner's family doesn't want any part of him. :( And realizing that news is so exceptional because it's so rare nowadays. (Lots of guys have stories of how it used to be like that, but not so much currently)

Being out is chatting with a 21 year old who came out to his family, and finding out how totally accepting and welcoming they have been to him. (And what a cute cub, too!)
 
Being out is talking to your coworkers over lunch about Christmas/holiday cookies and ovens and comparing notes on your coworker's awesome Wolf stove and your bf's stove.

(If that seems pretty mundane, well... that's what being out is)
 
Being out is getting a really hot christmas card from a friend and NOT having to hide it!
 
Being out...
for me is having the courage to live the life I was born to live.
I didnt' ask for it to be this way, but I can't be happy any other way...

Being out... is kicking myself for not realizing I was worth the effort earlier.

Being out is recognizing that I am different than anyone else, including other gay folks and not being ashamed to admit it.

Being out is being...
 
Being out is... being introduced to your partner's ex-in-laws, and introducing yourself as his boyfriend. Even if they are 90+ years old.

They didn't have a heart attack. They were very nice, actually. Had a great Christmas Eve with them.
 
Being out is being able to take your Master and slave brother to Youth Pride and introduce to the staff that these are people who you love and respect.

Being is being able to talk about your lifestyle even within a place that judges and doesn't quite understand your lifestyle.

Being out and leading by example is attracting others and those who are curious and slowly opening their minds to the idea and eventually them wanting to learn more about your lifestyle and possibily become part of it. And the reasoning for this is because you were brave and proud enough to show it to them.
 
Being out is being free.

Being out is being happy.

Being out is awesome.
 
Being out is joking with your male cousin that it's so much better to live with a guy because you can leave the toilet seat up.
 
Being out is...

a luxury that not everyone has. Many people risk financial ruin and even death by even hinting that they're gay. An all too common scenario is that a teenager gathers the courage to come out to his parents, and they disown him/her and kick them out.

For most of us, coming out is liberating. But it is absurd to call it an "obligation". Forcibly outing someone can be devastating. It is one thing to call out a politician who is banning the rights of gays while secretly being gay, but it is another to forcibly out someone who is not harming anyone because them being outed might help your political agenda in some vague way. Even if you don't personally agree with staying in the closet, you shouldn't develop a vendetta against those who aren't out.
 
Being out is talking to a friend of a friend, whose daughter recently came out as lesbian, and hearing the other side of the story--what parents think before and after they find out their child is a sexual minority (GLBT). And being told honest answers because she knows that I'm gay, and I can relate to some of what her daughter has felt because I've been through a similar experience. It's also interesting listening to the differences in the coming out stories--how they differ from my own story.
 
Being out is having an HRC sticker on your car and parking it in front of your house.

Being out is going together to your bf's coworker's jazz band playing at a bistro--and loving the expression on strangers' faces as they suddenly put 2 and 2 together. :)

Being out is going to a gay rugby team fundraiser on Saturday night, and signing up for a flower gardening seminar on Sunday. :)

Being out is being who you are.
 
Being out is opening your eyes to the world around you and embracing it.
