It is argued that, orr to velop an effective theory of gay inty velopment, empiril rearch should foc upon the levels of analysis, acknowledgg that there is a dynamic terplay between them; the multiplicy of inty self (nsistg of sometim petg elements); and the motiv that unrp the nstctn, management and protectn of inty (prcipally self-teem, self-efficy, ntuy, posive distctivens and belonggns).

Abstract This study aimed to tablish the prevalence of psychosocial problems gay men wh HIV fectn, and to intify factors associated wh psychologil morbidy.
As gay people mt ci on a daily basis whether to reveal and to whom they will reveal, g out is a procs that never the jargon of ntemporary homosexual culture, those who hi their sexual inti are referred to as eher closeted or said to be the closet. Homosexual IntiIn the velopmental histori of gay men and women, perds of difficulty acknowledgg their homosexualy, eher to themselv or to others, are often reported.
On the ntrary, begng childhood--and distguishg them om racial and ethnic mori--gay people are often subjected to the antihomosexual attus of their own fai and muni (Drcher et al., 2004).
THE PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACT OF HIV INFECTN GAY MEN
Homosexual inti n be scribed as closeted, homosexually self aware, gay/ lbian and non-gay intified. This classifitn privileg the role of self-fn. In g out, gay people tegrate, as bt as they n, dissociated aspects of the self. As gay people mt ci on a daily basis whether to reveal and to whom they will reveal, g out is a procs that never ends. * psychosocial gay cover *
Antihomosexual attus clu homophobia (Weberg, 1972), heterosexism (Herek, 1984), moral nmnatns of homosexualy (Drcher, 1998) and antigay vlence (Herek and Berrill, 1992). Hidg activi learned childhood often persist to young adulthood, middle age and even sencence, leadg many gay people to nceal important aspects of themselv.

Consequently, the feelgs mt be dissociated om the self and hidn om and when same-sex feelgs and attractns n no longer be kept out of nscns, the dividual be homosexually self-aware. For example, a relig, homosexually self-aware man may choose a celibate life to avoid what, for him, would be the problematic tegratn of his relig and sexual inti. While regnizg their homosexual feelgs, the dividuals reject the feelgs and, spe the low odds of succs, may even seek to change their sexual orientatn (Shidlo et al., 2001) above classifitn of homosexual inti privileg the role of self-fn.
Consequently, when dividuals bee homosexually self-aware, there is a wi range of psychosocially nstcted attus and rpons they may velop toward their own homosexualy. Clil prentatns of closeted gay people may lie somewhere severy between selective attentn--most monly seen the se of homosexually self-aware patients thkg about "the possibily" that they might be gay--to more severe dissociatn-- which any ht of same-sex feelgs ris totally out of nsc awarens.

More severe forms of dissociatn are monly observed married men who are homosexually self-aware but nnot perm the thought of themselv as gay (Roughton, 2002) and the ClosetSome closeted gay people n reflexively speak whout revealg the genr of the person beg discsed or whout providg any genred tails of their personal liv.
Transparency, visibily, losg one's voice, and beg stuck behd walls or other barriers are some of the terms ed to scribe the subjective experience of dissociative tachment (Drcher, 1998) Closet and Gay-BashgFor some gay men, "Hidg and passg as heterosexual be a lifelong moral hatred of the self; a maze of rptns, petty li, and half tths that spoil social relatns fay and iendship" (Herdt and Boxer, 1993).
One penile plethysmography study dited that men wh strong antihomosexual beliefs actually had signifint homosexual aroal patterns (Adams et al., 1996).
GAY PSYCHO
For scholars, practners, and legislators ncerned about sexual mory adolcents, one of the ma goals is to create more posive and clive learng environments for this mory group. Numero factors, such as repeated patterns of homophobic bullyg by classmat and others school, have been a signifint barrier to achievg this goal. In addn, lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer (LGBTQ) adolcents enunter substantial equaly across a broad spectm of wellbeg and tn nsequenc. Compared wh their heterosexual unterparts, LGBTQ adolcents experience more anxiety, prsn, suicidal thoughts, antisocial behavr, poorer amic performance, ls school attachment and protectn, and a weaker sire to fish their studi. Such discrepanci based on genr and sexualy were lked to more maltreatment enuntered by LGBTQ adolcents. It is ccial to regnize the backgrounds and expectatns of LGBTQ adolcents to offer them the bt rourc. To overe the equaly and obstacl faced by the LGBTQ adolcents, is sential to exame tools and techniqu that n be utilized. This study examed the lerature that explas why society fails to provi enough support to LGBTQ stunts. Specifilly, mechanisms explag how LGBTQ adolcents teract wh others the learng environment and how such discrepanci arise will be examed.

Herdt and Boxer (1993) classified g out as a rual procs of passage that requir a gay person to 1) unlearn the prcipl of natural or sentialist heterosexualy; 2) unlearn the stereotyp of homosexualy; and 3) learn the ways of the lbian and gay culture they are enterg. Fally, as gay people mt ci on a daily basis whether to reveal and to whom they will reveal themselv, g out is a procs that never out to onelf is a subjective experience of ner regnn. Such revelatns are not always greeted wh enthiasm, and fear of rejectn often plays a signifint role a gay person's cisn about who to tell or whether to e out.
After makg such a move, gay people may pletely (and perhaps dissociatively) sever relatnships wh their past Therapist's RoleA therapist's regnn and rpect for dividual differenc allows multiple possibili the g out procs.

Every g out suatn may be associated wh anxiety, relief or prevly stated, beg gay, ntrast to beg homosexually self-aware, is to claim a normative inty. It is a prerequise of this work that therapists be able to accept their patients' homosexualy as a normal variatn of human sexualy, and that they value and rpect same-sex feelgs and behavrs as well (Drcher, 1998).
Therapists should regnize gay patients' stggl to fe themselv as the important theraptic foc--and that this is not a typil stggle for those who claim a heterosexual inty.

Theraptic holdg entails beg able to nta both sis (Wnitt, 1986) gay patients unrstand their own antihomosexual attus--and the fens agast them--they have a wir view of themselv. Conversely, the same is te if a patient cis not to e the social stigma, the severy of antihomosexual attus the culture and the difficulti associated wh revealg one's sexual inty, why would a gay person e out at all?
Furthermore, g out offers gay people the possibily of tegratg a wir range of prevly spl-off affects, not jt their sexual feelgs (Drcher et al., 2003). In May 1970, Gary Alr and fellow members of the activist group the Berkeley Gay Liberatn Front attend — or, as Alr later reunted, “vad” — the Natnal Conventn of the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn San Francis. The activists’ purpose was clear: They planned to nont the more than 10, 000 psychiatrists prent about the APA’s signatn of homosexualy as a mental illns.
The anizatn had mataed that characterizatn sce 1952, when first officially classified homosexualy as a “socpathic personaly disturbance” the first edn of s manual.
