"There are some groups that LGBTQ+ people are more likely to come out to than others, as 32 percent say they aren't out to any extended family members, such as grandparents, aunts, or cousins. One in four (25 percent) of those who are employed aren't out to their co-workers, 23 percent aren't out to their parents or guardians, and 18 percent of those who have siblings aren't out to any of them. In comparison, only five percent aren't out to any of their friends."
"69 percent said their siblings were accepting and 61 percent said their friends were accepting, whereas only 46 percent said their parents were accepting. Bisexual adults were significantly less likely to come out than their LGTQ+ peers, with 47 percent saying they aren't out to extended family, 38 percent saying they aren't out to coworkers, 35 percent saying they aren't out to parents, 28 percent saying they aren't out to siblings, and just nine percent saying they aren't out to friends."
About 96 percent of LGBTQ+ adults in the United States have told at least one person they are or might be queer, while only 3 percent have not told anyone. Many recognized they might be queer before age 14, but only 14 percent told someone that young; 29 percent came out between 14 and 17, and 34 percent between 18 and 24. Disclosure varies by relationship: 32 percent are not out to any extended family, 25 percent not out to coworkers, 23 percent not out to parents, 18 percent not out to siblings, and 5 percent not out to friends. Reported acceptance is higher from siblings and friends than from parents. Bisexual adults are less likely to be out across most groups, and transgender adults report the lowest acceptance when coming out.
