Lesbian self-disclosure. Strategies for success.
1. Lesbian nurses must decide whether to share information about lesbian culture with their nursing colleagues. 2. Making calm rejoinders to homophobic remarks, using policies on minority status and affirmative action, promoting competitive liberalism between institutions, and using marketing techniques can aid lesbian self-disclosure to individuals and institutions. 3. Nurses who are open about being lesbian can provide healthy role models for their colleagues and patients.
