Abstract
Because of the role that families play in the journeys of queer and trans people of color, researchers have examined how individuals make meaning of these relationships. The purpose of this study was to unearth how queer and trans emerging adults of color (QTEAOC) described the influence of families of origin over time. Using data from an ongoing longitudinal project, this paper documented how 13 individuals spoke to the influence of family in their identity development journeys. Findings demonstrated the following: developing as it pertains to intersecting minoritized social identities (e.g., sexuality, race/ethnicity, gender) meant QTEAOC experienced their family no longer being a primary cultural socializing agent and instead embraced their own internal acceptance of self. And yet, what remained permanent was a continued negotiation of identity with their family of origin.

The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
