    Not out at work, there is a homophonic old fart that would make my life difficult, and it's not worth the effort.
    Everywhere else I'm out to the extent that I don't have to watch what I say. (That's a great feeling!)

    To my brother, a very good friend, my social worker and two others. Maybe soon my best friend since I have a crush on him.

    Only out to a few people, but now I'm regretting telling a person or two because apparently they're totally fine with me being gay...as long as I never mention the word lesbian and actual conversation -_-

    In my imagination.
    I would say I am out to everybody, but the fact that I know some very religious people who will soon become my family-in-law because my mom is getting married means that I have to be semi-silent on what I am... For the most part, everybody is ok, and unless I sense danger, I will openly say I am both bisexual and transgender in a public place. Well, actually I don't say bisexual- I just say I like "everything" and most people reply with "Oh, so your bisexual?" to which I shrug...

    I'm out to EmptyClosets, other internet sites, and to my parents and siblings, so most everyone I feel like knowing about it.

    To most of my friends and my sister. The rest of my family would be mortified.

    I'm out to exactly 5 people over the internet, they are like pen pals. And of course EC!

    Otherwise, no one knows because no one asks. I'm definitely not coming out to my family until i move out and live independently. I am pretty dependent on them and i can't risk my future on their unpredictable reaction to my coming out.
