Hi—I came out as bi at age 57, and I have found it to be quite a lovely experience.

I came out in two separate ways, many years apart. I first came out as bi in grad school, as I was marrying my wife. She accepted it in theory, ...just so long as I was monogamous. I joined the campus gay et al alliance, even became group treasurer for two years. Went to the '93 March on Washington (it was AWESOME!), made great "family" friends. But soon enough I settled into an utterly hetero lifestyle for years and years. Turned to gay porn as a rather limited outlet. I came out all over again as gay in 2014. Amicable split from wife. She and my son are both progressive and cool with it. I guess I am what you could call a 70/30 gay.
Labels are often inadequate to describe us. I think that adds to our fear of coming out. To tell people "I am this or that" seems to risk misunderstanding them jumping to erroneous conclusions, and judgment. For all those years after I came out as bi, which technically is what my orientation is, I told very few people. I had labeled myself as bi, was living a hetero life, and increasingly simply felt gay. What a mess. Now I am a gay guy who could imagine being seduced by a woman under the right circumstances. lol
BTW, I am generally out, now, to anyone who cares to ask, plus many who haven't asked, some co-workers, a few clients, even, and casual friends I have made in social clubs. But I don't wear a button to announce it to the world, or anything. Some situations just are not appropriate for bringing it up without a direct provocation.

I never came out per se, I just started posting pride stuff on FB and linking to different pro-LGBT articles. I think people figured it out. If they wanted to talk about it, I would, otherwise I just acted like...whatever, it is what it is. Easier that way.

My first wife divorced me over it, my second wife was ok with it.

I applaud you for your braveness in telling your friends. I'm out to my friends, but I don't think I will ever tell my two bosses. And that's okay -- to keep it private in certain circumstances. Do what makes you feel comfortable. And your feeling weird -- well, it's still a tough topic sometimes to broach.

Nope. Couldn't care any less regarding opinions of my sexuality.

Yes, I had to come out in stages as well. Even still I will never let my grandparents know as I know they will not take it well. Just go at your own pace.

I think you should fully come out and live your life freely without worrying if they will find out themselves unless you don't want to take the chance of losing their friendship, up to you.

Grandparents probably. They’re old and they have a fairly hostile attitude towards LGBT issues. Students because it’s none of their business. Other than that I’m fairly open about it.

I more or less grew up bi...or pan...if someone appealed to me and was willing, game was on....had a long talk before marriage with my fiance..Explained that I would continue to have safe sex, with one man, not wild party stuff and if she would not handle it, we would not marry...but she would have the freedom to have a boyfriend or boyfriends, depending on her needs, since we both were VERY sexually active before marriage, long story short, we married, we had friends, we had sex, the best part was WE NEVER HAD TO LIE...

Most of my friends don't know I'm bi. I live in a very conservative area... and it hasn't really come up either. I will make comments like, she's hot..but that's it.
