Abstract
Abstract‘Sexual identity’ has been defined by Savin-Williams (1995b) as ‘… the enduring sense of oneself as a sexual being which fits a culturally created category and accounts for one’s sexual fantasies, attractions and behaviours’ (p. 166). This paper considers some of the ways that an individual arrives at his or her own unique sexual identity. It explores some of the implications for young people of developing a gay, lesbian or bisexual sexual identity and discusses the possible role that educational psychologists (or similar practitioners) may have in challenging some of the causes of the psychological damage endured by gay, lesbian and bisexual young people.
