Abstract | Although never a monolithic community, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (or queer) (LGBTQ) students enter the college exploration process with a far more diverse range of experiences than past generations. A growing portion of today's LGBTQ youth came out in high school or even middle school--and were embraced by family and friends. But the story can be much different for other students, depending on factors such as age, race, religion, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. And some international students may come from countries where it is still illegal to be gay. How students present themselves in the admission process varies widely, as does the way they interact with campus services and LGBTQ organizations once enrolled. The challenge for admission professionals is to build supports, affirmative practices, and outreach efforts that speak to students on either end of the spectrum. (ERIC). |
