Yes BIS, and I believe it would boost your confidence no end... You'd finally know that it was high time you told people and felt less afraid of their reactions... Often these days, reactions are far less intimidating than we'd expect. Coming out is a big deal for us, I know that, but it's getting easier all the time, I think.
Anyway, I was going to suggest finding an activity that you enjoy doing or that you would enjoy doing, such as singing in a choir, a joining a drama group etc... which is where you'll meet people, gay and straight. It's actually easier to come out to someone you don't really know, because there are no expectations. You can practise on them.
At the same time, you'll be able to enjoy some real fellowship that has nothing to do with being gay or not.
Actually, iPromise's suggestion is a good one if you're ready to volunteer for a gay organisation; if not, join something like feeding the poor, or free library, or sports for all, or... (I'm making these up as I go...)
Good luck. Take care, Bloke.
