This study compared the perception of social support and the degree of internalized homophobia for two demographically similar groups: lesbians with planned families and lesbians who did not have children. Results found that lesbians with planned families perceived significantly less social support from friends overall, from gay men and lesbian friends specifically, and more support from their families-of-origin than lesbians who did not have children. Lesbians with planned families also reported significantly higher internalized homophobia specific to disclosure of sexual identification. The authors suggest that selective disclosure may be an adaptive response rather than a true measure of internalized homophobia.
有计划生育的女同性恋者和没有孩子的女同性恋者。结果发现，总体而言，有计划生育的女同性恋者从朋友那里获得的社会支持显著少于没有孩子的女同性恋者，从男同性恋朋友和女同性恋朋友那里获得的支持尤其少，但从原生家庭获得的支持更多。有计划生育的女同性恋者在性取向披露方面的内化恐同症程度也显著更高。作者认为，选择性披露可能是一种适应性反应，而非内化恐同症的真实衡量标准。
