Summary

This study includes a qualitative analysis using content analysis techniques to understand and organize the interview of problems on daily life of sexual minorities. There were four subjects in this study. They were around 40 years old and their biological sex were female. Their partner's biological sex were female. Conducted in a group interview format, it was held four times until problems on daily life were told completely. Interview transcripts were analyzed by using an inductive coding approach. As a result, 80 codes was extracted. These codes were categorized into 25sub categories and 7categories. Consequently, these categories in this study were classified as “Stereotypes of society”, “Conflict to stay true to myself”, “Transition of the times”, “The society that has begun to embrace sexual minorities “, “Walls to true understanding that still remained”, “The way of life found out in one’s own way”, and “Something that supports the way of life”. These categories were considered to consist of two perspectives, those that were problems on daily life and those that supports themselves. In the discussion, in addition to the above two points, we also examined the selection of life events from the viewpoint of lifelong development.
