What is a Cumming Out? Caming Out: Value

The sexual revolution gave men and women the freedom to choose their sexual partners. This was the impetus for creating same-sex couples. Along with this, new concepts emerged, concerning certain aspects of life and the behavior of people with non-traditional sexual orientation. As a rule, these words of foreign origin are not completely understood by citizens who are far from the "blue" and "pink" themes.

For example, not everyone knows what a kamping-out is. What is its difference from the similar notion of "outing". Meanwhile, in certain circles this is a frequently used expression, which even has its own holiday in the year. But first things first.

What is a Cumming Out?

This word is borrowed from the English language and in translation means "disclosure", "exit from the closet." A man or a woman, openly and, most importantly, voluntarily confessing in their unconventional sexual orientation or in their attitude towards a gender minority, commit an act called a cunning out. As a rule, this definition is applied to lesbians, gays, bisexual and transsexual persons (abbreviated as LGBT), who openly admit their sexual preferences or that their body does not correspond to their mental state.

Outreach is also a public display of the fact of unconventional personal life, but by other persons in violent form, against the will of the homosexual. Usually it is done to compromise a person, to spoil his reputation, career, change the attitude of people, because in any country there are homophobic moods. Even in modern society, not all people are ready to open their doors to their bedroom, but there are some who specifically hold a public cum-out to attract attention and gain superfluous popularity, while being heterosexual. This phenomenon is very common in show business.

Few historical facts

The first time about the main idea of the cum-out was reflected in 1869. This was done by a German lawyer and journalist who defends the rights and interests of minorities, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs. He was of the opinion that if you want to become visible, you need to loudly declare yourself through the cum-out. The significance of this act, according to the German, is great, the newly opened homosexual will be able to exert greater influence on people and enjoy authority. The first public important man who was not afraid to tell about himself was the American poet Robert Duncan. He made a kumping-out, and soon he was cut from the army. After that, in one of the magazines, he said that in the country and throughout the world oppressed minorities.

In the middle of the 20th century, the concept of "cum-out", thanks to the psychologist Evelyn Hooker, who devoted a lot of his work to the study of gay communities, ceased to be a jargon, moving into the section of scientific terminology.

Importance of Cumming Out

Moral satisfaction from life occurs only if a person lives in complete harmony, not only with himself, but also with society. To achieve this result, you need to be brave and openly declare your sexual preferences. If a man or a woman is really homosexual, they accepted this fact and are confident in their choice, then do not hide it, camouflage heterosexual relations, even marriage against their will to please society. This negatively affects the mental state of the individual. It can only be helped by a cunning out. The significance of the deed will positively affect the state, mood, and the long-awaited relief will come.

This is in case of understanding from the audience. But, as practice shows, this is not always the case. That's why there is a lot of literature on "what is a cum-out", how and when is it better to do it. One of the most famous is the manual written by the American organization "Parents, Families and Friends of Gay and Lesbian".

Recognition process

Cumming-outs are complex multistage processes. Psychologists advise gradually to open for all their sexual orientation, starting with a friend or family member, with whom the most warm, strong, trusting relationship. Quite often it happens that all his colleagues and friends know about the unconventionality of a person, but close relatives do not know. Sometimes it's easier to tell a stranger than for someone else. Some research work on caiming-outs and general openness of a person to society showed that the less a person hides from others, the less he has to lie, get nervous, worry.

Recognition to parents

One of the most difficult stages of the cum-out is recognition before the parents. They are not able to take the information correctly, with understanding. Parents are shocked to learn that their child is not like everyone else. They need time and help from a psychologist. Most parents refuse to accept this fact, they can punish children, ignore, expel from home, refuse them. Some some time try to avoid any conversations about the sexual topic, believing that all this is a whim, the costs of the age, and if you do not focus on this, then everything goes by itself.

Other parents seriously consider homosexuality a disease, begin to treat their children with the help of reparative therapy. By all these actions, mothers and fathers inflict serious harm on the child's psyche, only glowing the situation.
