Entering the Closet: An Examination of Views about Sexual Orientation on Campus
Boice-Pardee, Heath
New York Journal of Student Affairs, v18 n1 Article 3 p11-24 May 2018
Several pieces of literature have been written on the status of heterosexual college student attitudes toward homosexuality, homosexual students, and homophobia (D'Augelli, 1989; D'Augelli & Rose, 1990; Ficarrotto,1990; Goldberg, 1982; Grieger & Ponterotto, 1988; McDevitt, 1987; Spees, 1987; Wells & Franken, 1987; Yarber & Yee, 1983). Conversely, limited research outlines the impact that this heterosexual perspective has on homosexual (gay/lesbian) students. Furthermore, little research has been presented in the specific area of addressing the needs of homosexual and bisexual students (Baker, 1991; Scott, 1988). Due to the minimal attention focusing on gay/lesbian/bisexual students, and more specifically the issues that they face on our college campuses, this study attempts to extend the existing research. This article originally appeared in the CSPA Journal in 1994 and presented literature on LGBT students, particularly noting the lack of research at that time. It also presents findings from a qualitative project talking to LGBT students at that time about their experience.
