Coming out is meant to express a discomfort with one’s assigned gender at birth and that one is not heterosexual.
However, as is clear based on the suicide caused by the announcement to Hitotsubashi University Law School students in 2015, it can comprise a negative aspect in that one can become an object to be alienated and excluded in the from of social bullying and prejudice. lt can be said that this negative aspect has the potential to increase.
Therefore, by organizing previous studies, we will clarify how the difficulty of living as an individual belonging to a sexual minority for sexual changes with and without coming out.
In the case, we were able to identify the meaning of life starting from suffering from one’s sexual orientation and gender identity among sexual minorities.
In the future, I aspire to deepen my research on the institutional aspect of a society that embraces diversity, support methods before and after coming out, and support systems.
