To understand what happened when young women come out as bisexual or lesbian, 6 college-age bisexual or lesbian women who had recently come out, and 25 of their family members and friends, were interviewed about how the woman's coming out affected their relationships. Each was analyzed separately, using grounded theory coding techniques. The overall findings across the six relationships are presented here. Inductive qualitative analysis revealed changes in communication, relationship structure, and beliefs. Communication changes included talking about coming out, engaging in conflict, and asking questions of self and others. Changes in relationship structure included building community and negotiating closeness and distance. Changes in beliefs included testing one's own sexuality and changing one's mind about bisexual and homosexual people. Overall, coming out was embedded within the relationships and events of everyday life.
为了解年轻女性公开自己双性恋或女同性恋身份时会发生什么，研究人员采访了6名刚公开身份的大学年龄双性恋或女同性恋女性，以及25名她们的家庭成员和朋友，询问该女性的公开身份对她们关系的影响。使用扎根理论编码技术对每个人分别进行分析。这里呈现了这六个关系的总体研究结果。归纳定性分析揭示了沟通、关系结构和信念方面的变化。沟通方面的变化包括谈论出柜、发生冲突以及对自己和他人提出问题。关系结构的变化包括建立社交圈以及协商亲密程度和距离。信念方面的变化包括审视自己的性取向以及改变对双性恋和同性恋者的看法。总体而言，出柜融入了日常生活中的人际关系和事件之中。
