This study explores communication between parents and LGBTQ children as they jointly negotiate whether to disclose the child's LGBTQ identity to members of their social networks, e.g., extended family. Data includes 11 parent and 11 LGBTQ adult child qualitative interviews. The adult children in this study reported ages from 19 to 43 years. Three pairs of discourses animated parent-LGBTQ child dyads communication regarding disclosure with their outside social networks: hopeful anticipation vs. fearful hesitation, cautious inclusion vs. selective privacy, and proactive advocacy vs. reserved support. This study highlights the role parents can play in the emotional well-being and positive identity development of their LGBTQ children.
