 In 2013, a study published in the "Journal of Bisexuality" surveyed thirty people who identified as part of the lesbian, gay, queer or bisexual communities and their individual experiences with coming out.Ten of these people reported that they claimed the label of bisexuality first, and later came out again as lesbian, gay, or queer.The theory that emerged in this study introduced the concept of the "queer apologetic", in which one attempts to reconcile their same-gender attraction with the social norm of heterosexuality.
