The Human Rights Campaign has a webpage with a video and several resources coving various issues related to coming out, and it is well worth checking out if you are at the point where you are giving that serious consideration.
For what it's worth, I strongly encourage you, if you are gay or lesbian, to take the huge leap of faith needed to come out and publicly acknowledge how God made you. It is critically important for friends, family, and members of the faith community, both GLBT and straight allies, to support those who have the courage to take this life-changing step forward in their lives.
I will offer a prayer to everyone struggling with this decision and assure you that, despite what many people say, God is with you and will bless your life just the way He made you.
If anyone has any encouragement and/or experiences related to coming out they would like to share, I would encourage you to post a comment here and do so.
