Note. The sample included 52 individuals, but percentages are based on how many participants provided data relevant to each code; for “impact of sexual orientation…” codes, some participants described how being openly gay/bisexual impacted these domains, whereas others described how not being out to their parents impacted these domains; for “parental monitoring,” 15 participants indicated that their parents do not monitor them, but 7 of them went on to provide evidence of monitoring.
