- Q208099 abstract "Template:LGBT sidebarComing out of the closet, or simply coming out, is a figure of speech for lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, and asexual (LGBTQ+) people's self-disclosure of their sexual orientation (or lack thereof) and/or gender identity.Framed and debated as a privacy issue, coming out of the closet is described and experienced variously as a psychological process or journey; decision-making or risk-taking; a strategy or plan; a mass or public event; a speech act and a matter of personal identity; a rite of passage; liberation or emancipation from oppression; an ordeal; a means toward feeling gay pride instead of shame and social stigma; or even career suicide. Author Steven Seidman writes that "it is the power of the closet to shape the core of an individual's life that has made homosexuality into a significant personal, social, and political drama in twentieth-century America."It is important to differentiate between different definitions of coming out, rather than assuming the term is always used to mean the same thing, especially in order not to mistake someone's intention. First, people come out to themselves, an awakening and a process of identity development that goes through stages and then is over. They do not have to tell anyone else their sexual orientation in order to be out, they just have to know who they are. This type of coming out is about when someone learns something new about their own identity. Second, people have the right to choose to whom they will disclose their sexual orientation.This decision making process continues throughout the lifespan, especially when someone moves, starts a new job, and/or makes new friends. Because people can lose jobs or other support by coming out, it is important to respect their right to tell who they want to, rather than outing them. This type of coming out is about sharing information about one's identity with people that they know. Third, some people choose to publicly declare their sexual orientation to a group of strangers as an act of political activism. This is not done to figure out who they are or who their friends really are but to make the identity less invisible and to educate potential allies. This type of coming out is about advocating for equal rights and cultural sensitivity. These three definitions are not exhaustive, but knowing at least these three different uses of the term coming out can be helpful to those who are trying to understand the process.American gender theorist Judith Butler argues that the process of "coming out" does not free gay people from oppression. Although they may feel freer to act as themselves, the opacity involved in entering a non-heterosexual territory insinuates judgment upon their identity, she argues in Imitation and Gender Insubordination (1991).Coming out of the closet is the source of other gay slang expressions related to voluntary disclosure or lack thereof. LGBT people who have already revealed or no longer conceal their sexual orientation and/or gender identity are out, i.e. openly LGBT. Oppositely, LGBT people who have yet to come out or have opted not to do so are labelled as closeted or being in the closet. Outing is the deliberate or accidental disclosure of an LGBT person's sexual orientation or gender identity, without their consent. By extension, outing oneself is self-disclosure. Glass closet means the open secret of when public figures' being LGBT is considered a widely accepted fact even though they have not officially come out.It can also be used in various non-LGBT applications, sometimes humorously.".
