INTRODUCTION
Several "coming-out" models of sexual identity development of sexual minority men have been proposed (e.g., Cass, 1979, 1984; Coleman, 1982; Martin, 1991; Rotheram-Borus & Fernandez, 1995; Troiden, 1979). Most coming-out models presume that awareness of same-sex attraction emerges in early childhood, i.e., before the age of 10 (Herdt & McClintock, 2000), and that the awareness and exploration of same-sex attraction takes place during adolescence and eventually results in an integration of a homosexual identity into personality.
