Out with close friends, in the closet with parents...but I thnk they will figure it out eventually.
Some of my cousins know too, the ones I am close with....
I just kinda live my life without thinking about it. I neither wear it on my sleeve nor do I hide it.
Came out when I was 13. And I never looked back.
I was born nelly... I couldn't have gotten into a closet if I wanted to.

This is me today.
Maybe my situation is somewhat weird, but in the early 80's, I was in denial and quite naive. At the time, I thought only other gay men were the 'flaming queens' so I didn't really know what to think of myself. I knew I was attracted to men, but not the kind I thought of as being 'gay'. I had no one else to base my feelings on and thought I was just a freak of nature, or something like that.
Fast forward 20 years and I'm happy and out, but like loki, I don't wear a sign, but I no longer hide. It's part of who I am, but not all of me in any sense of the word. I'm a man and a person who just 'happens' to be gay. That is all.

Yeah, I wondered where you stored your gowns...Only to get out the pumps and the mink stole, huh?

in retrospect, my sister telling my parents while I was 1000 miles away and totally off the grid worked out pretty well.
