Way too many years. I am still closeted at work but that will be changing soon.

I figured I was some shade of queer. Stayed in the closet for a few months and Mum eventually asked. I've been pretty open about it ever since, even in a place like South Texas.

I knew for awhile, but pushed it down for a long time. It was probably 6 months after I realized that I couldn't hide it any more that I actually came out. Being in the closet is rough. My heart goes out to anyone that isn't able to come out.

I am not completely out. Friends and online folks all know, but not my mother, and that is fine by me.

I suppose I was closeted to myself for the first 19 years of my life. But once I was sure of my orientation I came out to all of my friends and family within six months. The only thing that made me wait for a while for most of them is I live so far away from most of my friends and family I waited until I could tell everyone in person. That made for a busy and conversation filled holiday season but I was lucky that everyone was and continues to be supportive of me.

A few months, I guess.
