There is little data on the perception of LGBTQ constituencies toward feminism. This research team conducted focus groups on campus and within the surrounding community on perspectives of LGBTQ students, university-employed gay men, community-based transgender individuals, and community-based gay men toward feminism. The team analyzed findings using Bem's (1981) gender schema and Ridgeway's (2009) construct of individual, interactional, and institutional aspects of gender identity. The results show that most of the LGBTQ focus groups held positive views toward feminism, associating it with equality for all genders and social justice, except for community-based gay men, who negatively associated feminism solely with women's rights.
