Guittar explores how mainstream norms continue to assert their influence over those with nonnormative sexualities. He also highlights the wide spectrum of coming out experiences. His important work sheds light on why, even though fewer people may remain closeted today than in the past, coming out is not a one-time event, but a lifetime process UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626373105 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626373105 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626373105/original ER -
