Well I have never (and can never as I am not) come out as gay I do feel in certain situations it can be equal. In plenty of situations it is worse to come out as gay it can be comparable in "tolerate" areas of North US, Canada and Europe as those are areas of acceptance that still have prejudices. It is still tough to admit, particularly in hardcore catholic french canadian families like I grew up in.
