Splitting Attraction: A Phenomenological Study Of Coming Out With Discordant Sexual And Romantic Orientations Among Adults, Kayla Mangen
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In discussions of attraction, most assume that one term applies to both sexual and romantic attraction and thus is all that one needs. However, for a group of individuals within the LGBTQ+ population, attraction varies between romantic and sexual, and therefore these individuals require multiple terms to accurately express their identities. Coming out is the process by which an individual expresses their identity both to themselves and to others. While much is known about this process, little is known about how identifying with different, or discordant, sexual and romantic orientations affects this process. The purpose of this phenomenological study was …
