As advisors, we are arbiters of success, guiding our students into adulthood, and helping them to become more engaged members of a new community. For some populations of students, with specific attention to students who belong to the LGBTQ+ community, this task is complicated by their sexual or gender identity – identities that are often foregrounded in their experience but hidden because of social stigma and fear. Understanding the complexities of living, growing, learning, and engaging as an LGBTQ+ student is central to offering advice (and advising) to these students.
