Yet many LGB youths develop a strong sense of identity and go on to lead rich and meaningful lives. How do LGB youth, in the process of coming out, discursively construct and manage their identities in a predominantly heterosexist and homophobic society? What tactics and strategies of resistance do they employ, and how do they employ them? What forms of informational capital relevant to sexual orientation and/or sexuality do LGB youth acquire? How is access to various forms of informational capital facilitated or denied, and why does this occur? |
