“…Indeed, disclosing their sexual orientation can leave LGB people vulnerable to harassment, assault, or rejection [ 21 ]. As such, during their disclosure, LGB young adults fear rejection, loss of respect, suffering, and causing others to suffer, even though the main motivations and expectations of disclosure are to be accepted and supported [ 49 , 58 ]. Concerning secondary appraisal, the main resource participants think they have for their disclosure is acceptance.…”

Background: Lesbians, gays, and bisexual people (LGB) present high levels of suicidal ideation. The disclosure of sexual orientation is a stressful experience which presents a high suicide risk. Research has not paid sufficient attention to stress during this disclosure in order to understand suicide among LGB people. The aims of this study were to investigate: (1) the characteristics of stress during this revelation, more precisely cognitive appraisal, emotions, and coping; and (2) associations between these characteristics and suicidal ideation. Method: A total of 200 LGB young adults answered the “Stressful situation assessment questionnaire”, focusing on the most stressful disclosure of sexual orientation they have ever experienced. Results: Avoidance coping is a good predictor of suicidal ideation, and mediates the association between primary appraisal (risk “Harm myself and others”) and suicidal ideation. Conclusions: Our study illustrates the need to better understand stress during the disclosure of sexual orientation to prevent and care for suicide risk among LGB young adults.

Au cours des trente dernières années, plusieurs chercheurs et intervenants sociaux se sont intéressés à l’expérience des jeunes de minorités sexuelles, particulièrement en ce qui concerne le dévoilement de leur orientation sexuelle et ses répercussions sur le plan de la santé physique et mentale. Or, peu d’études ont exploré le point de vue des parents d’un enfant d’orientation homosexuelle. L’objectif principal de cet article est de faire l’état des connaissances à propos de l’expérience singulière de ces parents, au regard de la diversité de leurs réactions à l’annonce de l’homosexualité de leur enfant et l’émergence de leur nouvelle identité parentale et conjugale. Cette démarche s’inscrit dans une volonté d’acquérir une compréhension et une analyse critique de ce phénomène, en plus de documenter les pratiques d’intervention psychosociale et communautaire développées à l’intention des parents.Over the last thirty years, many researchers and practitioners have focused on the experience of sexual minorities youth, particularly in regard to the disclosure of their sexual orientation and its implications for their physical and mental health. However, few studies have explored the perspective of parents of a gay or lesbian child. The main objective of this article is to review the state of knowledge about the unique experience of these parents, in terms of the diversity of their reactions to the coming out of their child’s homosexuality and the emergence of their new parental and spousal identity. This is part of an effort to gain an understanding and a critical analysis of this phenomenon, in addition to documenting the psychosocial and community practices developed for those parents
