I'm not one of those "Everyone come out NOW!" activist-types. It really is just not that easy. A lot of people really would face hefty consequences (ostracism, loss of income, harassment, physical harm, even death). It's hard even without fear of consequences. Even someone like me, with really little to fear, still hasn't gotten the gumption to come out to my father and grandmother.
But to any readers who may be in the closet, there is one thing about coming out I think you should consider: freedom. Just something to think about.

Don't forget the best part of coming out -- You get to sleep with men!
GayProf,
Maybe I haven't come out right, then :(.
Yeah, gayprof, coming out is, unfortunately, no guarantor of sleeping with men. And a lot of closeted guys seem to be able to get some with men.
Yeah well, coming out may not be a guarantee that you'll get to sleep with men but it will certainly help you to be able to look in the mirror in the mormning.
