Summary
Various strategies used by female homosexuals to cover their homosexual orientation ("by-passing", "apparent mysteriousness", "separation", "restriction") as well as various forms of "coming out" are discussed in the paper. Data obtained from 30 female homosexuals indicate that in 47% of cases parents (usually mothers) knew about their daughter's homosexuality, 57% of subjects reported their readiness to come out, and almost one third were rejected by their parents.
