Question

For Sam, the process of __________ took many years as he told his close friends, family, work colleagues, and others that he is gay. Kylie, on the other hand, did not have to go through this process because she identifies as heterosexual.

Answer 1

Answer:

COMING OUT.

Explanation:

 Coming out is the short of "coming out of the closet". This applies to people expressing their sexuality fully especially when it has to do with LGBT; it can also be used in the case on non-LGBT genders.

  It is a period of acknowledging, accepting, discovering your gender identity, being bold about it, exploring and experiencing the benefits of being such a gender.

NOTE: LGBT means Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender.
