A qualitative study was conducted to explore the lived experience of Asian American lesbians' coming out process. Twelve adult, self-identified Asian American lesbians were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed using the constant comparative method. Ten themes, including several subthemes, emerged from the data. In particular, the influence of family had a tremendous impact upon the identity development and coming out process of Asian American lesbians. From an early age, their families reiterated expectations that participants were expected to fulfill. When participants realized that they would not meet all the expectations, the need to overcompensate occurred. Participants experienced distressing emotions and behaviors, but rarely sought psychotherapy, opting to deal with their feelings on their own. Participants experienced anger and frustration due to not meeting cultural expectations rather than towards the greater heterosexual society. Sexuality was rarely discussed among participants' families; when it was discussed, reinforced notions that being gay was wrong and a "White man's disease," caused by the corruption of America were started. Attempts to connect to the LGBT community were met with racism and disappointment at the lack of other Asian American lesbians was felt. After disclosure occurred within the family, the topic of sexuality was rarely revisited, and there remained a lack of open acknowledgement concerning sexual orientation. Rather than form families of choice, participants chose to respect their family's process in accepting their lesbian identity and decided not to bring romantic partners home or discuss their sexual orientation out of respect for the family. For some participants, disclosure was manifested by a change in physical appearance to appear more stereotypically masculine. This allowed a non verbal means of communicating their sexual orientation. Although associated with acceptance of sexual identity, disclosure does not appear to be linked with acceptance of these individuals' sexual identity and, at times, may be seen as a non-viable option for Asian American lesbians. There were two emerging trends that appeared to be significant which were the hierarchy of Asian ethnic groups and the fluidity of female sexuality.
