I dont think you have any political responsibility to be out.
The system that makes people feel unsure if they can be true to people anout who they are has a responsibility to be changed, knocked down.
The current furore over gay marriage, for example, is dispicable, the people who oppose it should be mocked, laughed at, ridiculed and made to see themselves for the fools they are... but thats another story.
You should just do what you feel you want to, there shouldnt be any political element, you dont owe it to anyone else to come out - I mean, I have never done anything like this, but it was kind of opposite, cos my mum became gay like 2 years ago... and she was really unsure about coming out to me, but I already knew a long time before she even told me... I dont know if that is a common experience, but the people you are closest too probably have a good chance of knowing already.
And if people cant accept who you are, its their problem, although admittedly it can effect you
