Abstract	This study explored the concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students in college writing classrooms. The researcher interviewed 37 college students and 11 faculty members from a variety of different types of colleges and universities. LGBT students stated concerns about their overall campus experiences, safety, and identity. They also expressed concerns about course content and structure, faculty connections and issues specific to writing. Faculty spoke about writing pedagogy, difference in the classroom, and specific moments in their own classrooms. Participants offered 8 suggestions for faculty: educate oneself about the issues LGBT students face on campus, set a positive climate, establish rapport, demonstrate acceptance, confront conflict, come out as LGBT or ally, consider course content in terms of bias and inclusion, and address writing concerns specific to LGBT students.
