LGBTQ+ Structural Stigma and College Counseling Center Website Friendliness
Campbell, Carolyn; Mena, Jasmine A.
Journal of College Counseling, v24 n3 p241-255 Oct 2021
We examined whether the "friendliness" of college counseling center websites to students with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, plus other identities (LGBTQ+) varied by state-level structural policies on hate crime, employment nondiscrimination, and religious exemption. Results from our analyses of variance showed that website friendliness was significantly higher in states that offered hate-crime and employment nondiscrimination protections to LGBTQ+ individuals. Our findings highlight the need to intervene at multiple ecological levels to build inclusive college communities.
