Of course in my case I was outed by my father. Friend of his dropped a dime on me and what was I going to do, deny it? In work situations I wait until I'm good an comfortable with everyone. It may not come out with me saying "I'm gay" but I might talk about what Keyron and I did. Of course I also point them at my flickr site, my blog, etc. and in all of those I make no secret that I'm gay and have been in a relationship with a man for 17 years now. The most common reaction I get is "You've been together for 17 years? Wow!" It’s a continuous process if you don’t outwardly have any typical gay traits.
