Youth growg up today will see chang that earlier generatns of lbians and gay men would never have expected their lifetim, cludg policians, bs lears, and tors who are openly gay; marriage between same-sex upl; and an evolvg popular and artistic culture that provis many posive portrayals of lbian and gay characters movi and plays, on televisn, and lerature.
This ongog procs suggts that for some adolcents, self-intifitn of sexual orientatn and the sex of sexual partners may change over time and may not necsarily be ngent (Saewyc et al., 2004) velopment of sexual inty lbian, gay, and bisexual dividuals is a unique procs that has been wily reported the scientific lerature and popular culture but has received surprisgly ltle empiril attentn. Mols of homosexual inty velopment proposed by Cass (1979) and Troin (1989) scribe a staged procs that (1) regniz the impact of stigma that affects both the formatn and exprsn of homosexual inty, (2) unfolds over a perd of time, (3) volv creasg acceptance of a homosexual inty, and (4) clus disclosure to other persons.
However, the mols were veloped at a time which accs to rmatn about sexual orientatn was limed; negative attus about homosexualy were more prevalent; and few rourc existed for the study of LGB populatns, particularly adolcents. Furthermore, the velopment of the theoretil mols was based on the retrospective experienc of whe first study to explore the velopment of adolcent lbian and gay inty pth clud 202 LGB adolcents, more than half of whom were racial mory youth (Herdt and Boxer, 1993). Invtigators who nducted early work on the velopment of sexual orientatn inty argued that g out or self-intifyg as lbian or gay durg adolcence may be a velopmental procs seen only ntemporary LGB youth—one that may have unique nsequenc for later life-urse velopment pared wh lbian and gay adults who did not e out durg adolcence (Boxer and Cohler, 1989).

To unrstand the ntext of a person's life urse, is cril to unrstand the age hort to which that dividual belongs. Youth growg up today will see chang that earlier generatns of lbians and gay men would never have expected their lifetim, cludg policians, bs lears, and tors who are openly gay; marriage between same-sex upl; and an evolvg popular and artistic culture that provis many posive portrayals of lbian and gay characters movi and plays, on televisn, and lerature. Today's youth are able to e the Inter to retrieve onle rmatn about LGBT issu, providg social workg opportuni and accs to knowledge a way that was not available to olr horts. At the same time, young LGBT people searchg the Inter and teractg wh their peers will be aware of the pervasive negative views of sexual and genr mori. * adolescent gay *
Boxer and Cohler (1989) observe that one of the major velopmental tasks for lbian and gay youth is the nstctn of prevly ternalized heterosexual expectatns and the nstctn of a new set of future expectatns of the gay and lbian life urse. However, black youth were volved fewer gay-related social activi, were ls fortable wh others knowg about their sexual inty, and disclosed their sexual orientatn to fewer persons than their whe peers.
