This article derives from a larger hermeneutic phenomenological study on openly gay undergraduate men in elected student government. Findings from this study include gay men engaging in the work of advocacy and re(-)presentation as part of their elected student government role(s). Gay men acting as advocates in this context were called on to stand up and "out" as leaders on their campuses. This included collecting and sharing stories of students facing marginalization and responding to campus issues and crises. Recommendations include making student government more representative and listening to and honoring the voices and experiences of student leaders and constituents.
