I don't think I ever officially "came out" to anyone but my mother and my supervisor at the time. I was watching Phil Donahue, yes that long ago, when he had the gay supermodels Rob and Bob Paris (I think that is their name) on talking about coming out and it was like someone punched me in the stomach and I was shaken for a while until my supervisor finally got it out of me and a couple of years later I told my mother. I had already made plans in my mind to be ready to move out and I had a decent job at the time but she didn't make me leave she just ask me was I sure or if I was just slow about coming around to the women, I guess the huge Brad Pitt posters on my wall and the CK One ads at the time didn't give her any hints, lol. Everyone at my current job knows and I never really had to "come out" to anyone, they just knew because I would never talk about girls or going out the clubs (small town) and if they asked I said yes and that was that. I guess it makes things easier because you don't feel the need to watch your pronouns when you talk about your personal life and eventually if you do come out you have to convince people you were not ashamed to be gay, you just didn't know how people would react.

My life got easier in some ways and harder in others. My stress levels dropped and i was able to get closer with my family. However in my town it is still seen as negative to be gay and I work with kids so i have to be careful.

Did life get better after coming out - hell yea!
It's shocking how much energy lying to yourself and others take out of you - just not having to do that is such a weight off your shoulders. Other than that, it's WAY easier to actually meet people when you're out, so your chances of finding a stable happy relationship go way up.

My life pretty much stayed the same, everyone pretty much already knew.
I hate keeping secrets so didn't go too out of the way to hide my relationships with either race.

At first I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but it was the best thing that happened... I was no longer worried what would happen if someone found out... It actually didn't matter any longer... I also found out who my real friends are!
