本次调查探讨了164名性少数民族年轻人在性认同发展方面的性别差异--首先是同性吸引、自我标签、同性性接触和披露。基于访谈，结果表明在性别认同里程碑的背景、时间、间隔和顺序方面评估性别差异的价值。青春期男性除了表露外，所有的里程碑都出现得更早。性认同里程碑的背景可能是年轻女性以情感为导向，年轻男性以性为导向。对于男女来说，从第一次同性吸引人(8-9岁)到第一次公开(大约18岁)的间隔平均为10年。年轻女性遵循标签优先的发展轨迹；男性更有可能在确定自己是同性恋之前追求性行为，就实现性认同里程碑而言，性别很重要，但它不是一切。
The present investigation explored gender differences in sexual identity development-first same-sex attractions, self-labeling, same-sex sexual contact, and disclosure-among 164 sexual-minority young adults. Based on interviews, results indicated the value of assessing gender differences in the context, timing, spacing, and sequencing of sexual identity milestones. Adolescent males had an earlier onset of all milestones except disclosure. The context for sexual identity milestones were likely to be emotionally oriented for young women and sexually oriented for young men. The gap from first same-sex attractions (8-9 years of age) to first disclosure (around 18 years) averaged 10 years for both sexes. Young women followed label-first developmental trajectories; men were move likely to pursue sex before identifying themselves as gay, in terms of achieving sexual identity milestones, gender mattered, but it was not everything.
