The final step of the coming-out process for sexual-minority individuals is typically feeling pride in themselves and their sexual community. This means they have fully embraced their sexual identity and are comfortable with who they are. Other steps, such as disclosing to heterosexual family and friends, may come before this but feeling pride is often seen as the final step towards acceptance and self-actualization.
