Gay in podiatry-at Kent

Hey pod people I have a concern that's been itching at me for a while now. I've always wondered if I was the only gay/lgbt pod student at Kent. I haven't come out to many people although I'm sure most of my class would be cool with it. I guess I'm not what some people consider "stereotypical" so I've gotten this far without being asked, but it is really difficult and I feel isolated at times.

I don't really know how/when/if I should come out and I hate that I even have to ask this in 2015. I'm mainly worried about how to approach this in residency and as a practitioner.
My suspicion is that I should keep quiet since medicine in general is very conservative and, unfortunately, lgbt discrimination isn't illegal in any of the states I want to work in, so I don't want it keeping me from opportunities. However, I'm curious if anyone else has insight on this. Does anyone have any experience with being out in podiatry?

Also sorry for being vague, I'm trying to remain annonymous for now.
