这份对145名女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）青年的纵向报告研究了出柜过程中的种族/种族差异。在性发育里程碑、性取向、性行为或性身份方面没有显著差异。然而，与白色青年相比，黑人青年较少参与与同性恋有关的社会活动，对他人知道自己的性身份感到不舒服，并且向更少的人透露自己的性身份。拉丁裔年轻人比白色年轻人向更少的人透露。对变化的分析表明，随着时间的推移，黑人青年对同性恋的积极态度和对性身份的确定性比白色青年有更大的增加。这些发现支持了作者的假设，即文化因素并不阻碍身份的形成，但可能会延迟身份整合。
This longitudinal report of 145 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youths examined ethnic/racial differences in the coming-out process. No significant differences emerged in sexual developmental milestones, sexual orientation, sexual behavior, or sexual identity. However, Black youths reported involvement in fewer gay-related social activities, reported less comfort with others knowing their sexual identity, and disclosed that identity to fewer people than did White youths. Latino youths disclosed to fewer people than did White youths. Analyses of change indicated Black youths had greater increases in positive attitudes toward homosexuality and in certainty in their sexual identity over time than did White youths. These findings support the authors' hypothesis that cultural factors do not impede the formation of identity but may delay identity integration.
