Gay Male Adaptation in the Coming-Out Process

Gay Male Adaptation in the Coming-Out Process. Belous, C. K, Wampler, R. S, & Warmels-Herring, T. Journal of gay & lesbian mental health, 19(1):55--71, 2015.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

Seventeen interviews were completed with self-identified gay men, with the goal of identifying a theory of adaption through the coming out process. A commonality through the identity-development process emerged, highlighting concerns of stigma and bias. The adaptation to participants’ perception of their local gay male communities played a large part in the identity development of participants. Participants cited instances of strictly adhering to gay stereotypes before they were able to coalesce their identities into a more “true” or solid self. Minority Stress Theory provided a way to discuss the results and interpret the data for use in applied settings.
