The term coming out can also be used in various non-LGBTQIA+ applications (e.g. atheists). 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". came out come out coming out of the closet out of the closet coming out sortir du placard out outing outing outing outing açığa vurma coming in Queer Glossary The Transgender Language Primer Julia's trans, gender, sexuality, & activism glossary!
