I love this post, and especially your conversation with your mother. I actually came out twice to my own mum, since she was so non-reactive the first time (mind you, there was other family drama going on then).

For me, it's not only the continuous process of coming out, but also where I choose not to come out. I'm a teacher in the South, so I'm only out to a couple of coworkers. I know at least a few of the parents of my students that I'm close to would be shocked to find out that I'm a lesbian. (I have sneaked a couple books with queer families in my classroom though). I also wonder if some of the other teachers or parents may have guessed.

Of course, I also got the amusement of a couple of weeks, where OkCupid suggested me and my actual sister (who's bi) would be a great match. :P
