Sexual orientation is one of the processes that define the identity constitution, in the case of homosexuals it represents a greater difficulty due to an adverse environment. This study aimed to explore the process of recognition of sexual orientation in young gays and lesbians from Metropolitan Lima from a qualitative phenomenological approach. The sample consisted of 6 gays and 6 lesbians between the ages of 19 and 25, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results revealed that the recognition of homosexuality is complicated by a predominantly heteronormative social context. Given this, the search for information and the establishment of support networks are important. Likewise, after the consolidation of homosexuality, the person resignifies their experiences and becomes a support agent for others, since they manage to live in freedom and congruence with themselves, showing improvements in their mental health according to their discourse.
