Coming out talk is when same-sex romantic partners discuss disclosing their stigmatized relationship to someone. This study, guided by the Theory of Coming Out Message Production (COMPS), examined the predictors and outcomes of coming out talk. Results showed that the conversation goals, internalized homophobia, and dependence power predict degrees of coming out talk. Higher goal salience and lower internalized homophobia predict greater relationship satisfaction directly and indirectly through coming out talk. As goal salience increases, the negative relationship between internalized homophobia and coming out talk weakens. The results emphasize the utility of COMP and highlight practical implications.
