The present research aimed to explore the process of disclosure of sexual orientation and the relevance of the perceived social support of bisexual and lesbian early adult women in Lima Metropolitan. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology study was elaborated, in which 6 bisexual women and 6 lesbian women were interviewed. The objective of the interviews was to explore the process of disclosure of sexual orientation and to identify the role of social support in this stage. The results indicate that this disclosure process is usually very distressing, stressful and complicated, because they are usually prone to receive negative responses and/or rejection from their family, but specifically from their mothers. Other important results is that the social support network of friends plays an extremely important role, because it will make the process more bearable, thus allowing bisexual and lesbian women not to be alone before, during, or after the disclosure of their sexual orientation.
