Dyke Psyche continue from p 17 dren, a major risk factor for depression among the latter group. For those lesbians who are mothers, however, societal homophobia may make the motherhood process very stressful. Finally, lesbians have high rates of employment, a protective factor against depression, but some lesbians may experience discrimination and job insecurity in the workplace. This discussion has focused on how lesbians compare with heterosexual women on risk fac- tors for depression. In addition, lesbians face some life experiences that differ from heterosex- ual women. Lesbians experience hostility and invisibility from the heterosexual macro-culture. The process of coming out as a lesbian requires an active sequence of events, different from the relatively passive, “default” process of becoming a heterosexual. And lesbians must find the les- bian community, which is not as easily identifiable as the heterosexual community. We know very little about the implications of these processes on depression among lesbians. Although the coming out process is stressful for many lesbians, there is evidence that once les- bians are out they are at an advantage psychologically and socially. There has been little research on lesbians who are not white, not young adults, and not mid- dle class. Problems experienced by lesbians who are members of ethnic minority groups, ado- lescents, older women, or women in prison need to be examined more closely. The double bur- den of being a lesbian in this society in addition to differing demographically from the lesbian community may increase rates of depression.
