Document Summary

"both" -> know that there"s more than two main sexes: limited in terms of its orientation towards binary sort of two-point system of sex. Increased commitment, decreased alienation, explore who they are as a gay person: identity acceptance, i am gay , acceptance (vs. tolerance, may compartmentalize gay life and maintain less contact with heterosexual community. Increased contact with others, try best to fit in , might begin selective disclosures: identity pride, i am gay!, us vs. them , gay vs. not gay. If lgbtq+ individuals are able to question identity, they will begin to reflect upon their behaviour, their cognition, and their affect. If successful in those three tasks, move to final stage in which they develop consolidated sense of unique lgbtq+ identity. Identity disclosure: process of telling another person your sexual identity label. Internalized homophobia one of most serious obstacles to establishing and maintaining same-sex relationships.
