使用来自美国黑人、白人和拉丁裔性少数群体的第一个全国概率样本的数据，我们研究了在队列、性别、性身份和种族/民族的交叉点上，不同人口亚组的性身份发展时间和节奏是否以及如何不同。在来自三个不同出生队列的1491名年龄在18-60岁之间的参与者中，我们测量了参与者的性身份发展里程碑的年龄，包括第一次同性吸引，第一次性少数身份的自我实现，第一次同性性行为，第一次向异性恋朋友透露，第一次向家庭成员透露。与较老的队列相比，来自较新队列的参与者报告的里程碑时间更早，速度更快。由性别和性身份定义的亚组在里程碑的时间和速度上各不相同，男同性恋者报告的某些里程碑的出现时间比其他亚组早。那些使用新身份标签的人（例如，泛性恋者，酷儿）报告的里程碑年龄相对于双性恋参与者更年轻，但与女同性恋和男同性恋参与者年龄相似。黑人和拉丁裔参与者比白人参与者在更年轻的时候报告了一些里程碑。在队列、性别和性身份的交叉点上，种族分层模型测试组揭示了亚组在首次向家庭披露的年龄上的差异，以及自我实现、同性性行为和向异性朋友披露的时间上的差异。研究结果表明，不同社会身份的人在发展时间和发展速度上存在显著差异，需要进一步研究时间与身份、压力和健康之间的关系。
Using data from the first national probability sample of Black, White, and Latinx sexual minority people in the United States, we examined whether and how sexual identity development timing and pacing differs across demographic subgroups at the intersections of cohort, sex, sexual identity, and race/ethnicity. Among a sample of 1,491 participants aged 18–60 from three distinct birth cohorts, we measured participants’ ages of sexual identity development milestones, including first same-sex attraction, first self-realization of a sexual minority identity, first same-sex sexual behavior, first disclosure to a straight friend, and first disclosure to a family member. Participants from more recent cohorts reported earlier and accelerated pacing of milestones relative to those from older cohorts. Subgroups defined by sex and sexual identity varied in milestone timing and pacing, with gay males reporting earlier onset of some milestones than other subgroups. Those who used newer identity labels (e.g., pansexual, queer) reported younger ages of milestones relative to bisexual participants but similar ages to lesbian and gay participants. Black and Latinx participants reported some milestones at younger ages than White participants. Race-stratified models testing groups at the intersection of cohort, sex, and sexual identity revealed subgroup differences in ages of first disclosure to family, as well as differences in the time between self-realization, same-sex sexual behavior, and disclosure to a straight friend. Results suggest substantial variation in the developmental timing and pacing of milestones across social identities, and the need to further examine how milestone timing is related to identity, stress, and health.
