Abstract
Many lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth find the coming-out process challenging in a predominantly heterosexual and heterosexist society. The authors introduce a new integrative, empowerment model to help counselors assist their clients navigate this sometimes difficult process. LGB adolescents may be faced with rejection from family, peers, religious leaders, doctrines, and even themselves. If counselors are aware of factors that impede as well as contribute to making coming out a positive and empowering experience, they are better prepared to counsel, warn, and discuss with their clients the liabilities and benefits of coming out to those around them.
