While an LGBTQ Identity Is Not Necessarily a Deviant Label

While an LGBTQ identity is not necessarily a deviant label, as it was in the past

A) exposure to the LGBTQ subculture does not offer much insight for individuals navigating their identities.
B) adolescents have typically had an easy time with this process.
C) the process of claiming that identity is similar to what labeling theorists offer in managing a deviant identity-or embracing that one's LGBTQ identity may break norms, but is not inherently "bad."
D) it is equally stigmatized as something to reject and exclude in the same ways it has since the U.S. was founded.
