More than half of LGBTQ+ adults have felt isolated from their family due to their sexuality or gender identity – but some did feel better after coming out, a study has found.
A poll of 500 LGBTQ+ adults found 57% felt they had no-one to turn to after coming out, with 49% also feeling isolated from their friends.
As a result, despite 38% feeling relieved and 32% feeling happy after disclosing their true feelings, over a quarter (26%) were left feeling vulnerable, while 17% felt alone.
