요약 : Research has shown that it can be worthwhile for lesbian women and gay men to disclose their sexual orientation. Research has also established a link between accepting family attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) children can significantly decrease risk and increase well-being into adulthood. This study consisted of 5 stakeholders; 4 of the stakeholders were female and identified as lesbian and 1 was male and identified as gay. The results of this research showed that most LGBT people have hidden their sexuality due to fear and rejection of family and friends. Closer research has revealed that many LGBT people have sacrificed their happiness by settling for heterosexual relationships to fit society's norm of what is acceptable. Compromises such as this have led to failed heterosexual relationships. LGBT mental health has also been an aspect of sexual orientation, resulting in eating disorders and depression. However, the research showed that once LGBT persons decided to reveal their sexual orientation and accepted their authentic self, their mental health significantly improved. The stakeholders in this study all agreed that coming out was the best thing they could have done but some stated they wished they did it earlier. Coming out provided those with a sense of relief, free from fear of being outed. The stakeholders recommended that LGBT people who want to come out receive counseling, be selective about who they tell, have support from someone they trust, and not have expectations but be open to anything.
