Discuss the process of coming out

What will be an ideal response?


Coming out refers, first, to acknowledging one's sexual identity to oneself, and many GLB individuals have their own negative feelings about homosexuality to overcome. The often difficult and anxiety-ridden process of disclosing the truth to family, friends, and eventually the public at large comes later. Disclosure of identity plays an important role in identity development and psychological adjustment for GLB men and women.
