According to research, homosexuals go through a 3-phase sequence in their attempts to understand who they are (Berk, 2013). With respect to this, describe this process.

1. The first phase is feeling different, a slowly developing awareness that they aren't like other children, which is followed by a feeling of confusion, often occurring in adolescents. 2. In the second phase during adolescents, homosexuals attempt to understand their developing sexuality, looking for both social support and role models. 3. Finally in the third phase, the majority of gay and lesbian teenagers accept their homosexuality and share it with those who are close to them.
