text: Coming out should FREE your Spirit; a revelation of your Truth to a larger Universe, nothing less. All the people who MATTER will LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that you are who you are, and that you're proud (and powerful enough in Spirit) enough to state it.  And the people you know damn well won't, ... well, they might surprise you.  Just be damned sure financial security and safety are all arranged independently of anyone you're worried about, before coming out to them.
