Counseling Education Glbt Studies Higher Education Mental Health gay male coming out heterosexual roommate college residence hall phenomenological The purpose of this qualitative investigation was to understand the lived experience of gay college males after coming out to a heterosexual roommate while living in a residence hall. Interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) was chosen for this phenomenological qualitative design. For the current study I sought to better understand the lived experiences of gay college males after coming out to a heterosexual roommate in a residence hall.Ten participants from a university who self-identified as gay males participated in semi structured interviews. During the interviews, participants were asked questions about their experiences with coming out to their heterosexual roommate while living in a residence hall. Data analysis was completed using guidelines for IPA described by Smith, Flowers, and Larkin (2009). Four superordinate themes developed through this process: (a) reflecting on the coming out process, (b) ability to live authentically, (c) experiences of homophobia, and (d) experiencing support. From this understanding gained from participants’ lived experiences, support services related to the counseling profession can be utilized for gay males coming out in college. 2020-05-15 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1586258279094467 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1586258279094467 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
