“…A common theme within coming out critiques is their challenging of binaries linked to coming out: (1) that one is either out or not or, in reference to the closet metaphor, either in or out, (2) based on one being either heterosexual or homosexual, identity categories that depend on the gender binary of male and female. The first binary is challenged through considering LGBTQ+ identities and coming out to be a form of management: For example, an ‘identity management’ (e.g., Docena, 2013; Griffin, 1991; Miller, 2011; Mollet, 2021; Oakleaf, 2013; Orne, 2011; Owens, 2017; Thomas‐Durrell, 2020; Whitman et al., 2000), ‘privacy management’ (e.g., Helens‐Hart, 2017; Mckenna‐Buchanan et al., 2015; Pecoraro, 2020; Schrimshaw et al., 2014), or ‘visibility management’ (e.g., Dewaele et al., 2013; Papadaki & Giannou, 2021). A management perspective challenges linear stage models that consider LGBTQ+ identities a development from a split into a full and stable self (Klein et al., 2015).…”

Coming out is a fast-growing global research area with numerous interdisciplinary publications dedicated to its exploration. To contribute to a more organised and concise way of understanding this rapidly expanding field, I introduce a three-lens typology. Based on the systematic categorisation of over 700 publications, coming out research can be viewed via the following three lenses: (1) the different social institutions in which individuals come out, (2) to whom individuals come out, and (3) the content of individuals' coming out. The identified lenses focus on 'coming out in', 'coming out to' and 'coming out as', which adds to current conceptual understandings of 'coming out into' and 'coming out of'. Further, lens 3 demonstrates another usage shift of the coming out terminology. The concept of coming out originally was used outside of sexuality contexts and currently is being used more broadly again. However, in contrast to its original meaning, the new areas of application (e.g., fatness, atheism, illness) are still linked to conceptualisations and experiences of non-normativity. This publication assists students, scholars, and practitioners with navigating the extensive amount of coming out literature. It further illustrates the potential and challenges of coming out research and points towards the future-the if, how and what-of this field.

“…When a queer individual perceives their parents as accepting, this motivates their intended behavior of coming out. In terms of LGBT community connectedness, the initial desire of the individual to look for support within their community is rooted in the knowledge that they share the same experiences (Aloia, 2018;Pecoraro, 2020). Support and recognition from the LGBT community helps prevent internalized sexual stigma that would otherwise hinder sexual identity disclosure (Ceatha et.…”

The study aims to investigate how parental acceptance and LGBT community connectedness predict the act of coming and being out, or outness, among Filipino queer adults. A sample of 74 Filipino people identifying as lesbian, gay, and bisexual, aged 23-40 years old, who are in a romantic relationship, and are in contact with both parents, were surveyed. Multilinear regression analysis was used to determine if parental acceptance and LGBT community connectedness predicted outness. We found that the regression model is significant (F[2.72] = 7.872, p < .001). Moreover, parental acceptance is a significant predictor of outness (β = 0.421; p <. 001) whereas LGBT community connectedness was found to not be (β = 0.053; p = 0.629). Therefore, it can be inferred that parental acceptance is more important on the outness of Filipino queer adults than LGBT community connectedness.
