Lesbian, gay, and bisexual youngsters, aged 14-21 and living at home, were studied for patterns of disclosure of sexual orientation to families. Three-quarters had told at least one parent, more often the mother than the father. Those who had disclosed were generally more open about their sexual orientation than those who had not, and few of the nondisclosed expected parental acceptance. Those who had disclosed reported verbal and physical abuse by family members, and acknowledged more suicidality than those who had not "come out" to their families.
对年龄在14至21岁、居住在家中的女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋青少年进行了研究，以了解他们向家人披露性取向的模式。四分之三的人至少告诉了一位家长，告诉母亲的比告诉父亲的更常见。已披露性取向的人通常比未披露的人对自己的性取向更开放，而且未披露的人中很少有人期望得到父母的认可。已披露性取向的人报告称曾遭受家庭成员的言语和身体虐待，并且承认比那些未向家人“出柜”的人有更多自杀倾向。
