historically coming out of the closet is actually a drag term i.e. a transgender community term but it was approriated by the the LGB community to describe being open about who you were
Since i know a whole bunch of LGB people who are out about being LGB but not open about being trans or are open about some aspect of being trans say being into drag but not say about being transexual.
hence talking about being loud as opposed to stealth (which the transexual community has commonly used to describe those of us who don't talk about their histories. it varies to the degree people are loud or stealth just as their are lesbians who are only out in bed and bar.
I am out, loud and proud everywhere i go, quite often to the poiunt wher i have abused, beaten, sexually asaulted, raped etc
