Abstract	Methodological and political issues arise during the designing, conducting, and reporting of campus-climate studies for LGBT students. These issues interact; making a decision about a methodological issue (e.g., sample size) has an impact on a political issue (e.g., how well the findings will be received). Ten key questions that must be addressed when planning an LGBT campus climate study are identified and different approaches investigators have taken when conducting studies are described. Additionally, the article provides tips for being sensitive to institutional needs and vulnerabilities, as well as being responsive to methodological and political issues. (As Provided).
