To sum things up, let’s look at how differently an LGBTQ+ person might respond to a coworker’s question, “Hey! I’m going to the Pride parade this Saturday. Anyone wanna come?” depending on where the LGBTQ+ person is in their process of coming out:

 Identity Confusion: “I don’t think so, thanks.”

 Identity Comparison: “I don’t think so, thanks.”

 Identity Tolerance: “Seriously? No way! I’m no homo.”

 Identity Acceptance: “Um … I’ve got other plans on Saturday, but thanks for asking.” (And then a text later in the day: “Actually, I would like to go with u to the parade. LOL”)

 Identity Pride: “Hells yeah!!! I’m pumped!!! I’m buying rainbow tutus for everyone!!!”

 Identity Synthesis: “I’m pretty sure I can. Let me check with my partner and I’ll let you know. Thanks.”
