“…A report titled, Erasure and Resilience: The Experiences of LGBTQ Students of Color from the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) highlighted that across nearly all LGBTQIA+ students of color sampled had missed school (middle and high school students between 13 and 21 years old) at a higher rate than their cishetero peers due to feeling unsafe on campus (National School Climate Survey, 2017). These support systems are crucial as not all community colleges are created equal, and these institutions are hugely shaped by its broader geographical location (Edwards & Grippe, 2019). For example, for rural or suburban students, there might not be any community-based organizations that can aid their safety and overall well-being (Edwards & Grippe, 2019).…”

Thus, institutional support can leverage technological efforts to connect their BIQTPoC students across statewide systems or national networks for queer and trans support.…”

In this chapter, we provide a systematic literature review of current scholarship on BIQTPoC within community colleges. Through a queer of color critique lens, we analyzed literature published over the last three decades. Findings demonstrated a lack of empirical research that perpetuates a gap for community college leader practices to support BIQTPoC.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…Importantly, there is a lack of nondiscrimination policies that serve to consistently protect LGBTQ students. These lack of policies and data collection put students and institutions in precarious situations and create barriers that impact student success (Edwards & Grippe, 2019). Given these constraints and a lack of consistent and cohesive federal guidance, it is critical that LGBTQ topics be discussed, especially within community college contexts, given their role in providing quality, affordable, and open‐access education.…”

Supporting LGBTQ students through precarity: Policies and practices for inclusion

While limited, research centering LGBTQ students and experiences at the community college indicate students experience microaggressions, feelings of isolation, and a lack of curricular inclusivity at their community college institutions. With a lack of clarity around nondiscrimination policies at the federal level, coupled with a lack of nondiscrimination policies at the state level, institutions are often left without proper guidance regarding inclusive nondiscrimination policies for LGBTQ individuals. Given these constraints, it is critical community colleges explore how they can support LGBTQ students and provide them key resources. This article provides an overview of research on LGBTQ student experiences, resources, and promising practices within the community college context. In addition, this article will discuss the implications that federal and state policy has on the inclusion (and exclusion) of LGBTQ students, and finally discuss ways for community colleges to engage in inclusive practices. Focus on low-cost/no-cost practices is emphasized. Community colleges have long been sites of inclusion for many diverse groups of students. Because these institutions offer open-access, accessible, and affordable education, community colleges enroll many historically marginalized groups (Greene, Marti, & McClenney, 2008;Maxwell & Shammas, 2007). Yet, to date, little research exists that examines the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community college students (Taylor, 2015;Taylor, Dockendorff, & Inselman, 2018;Zamani-Gallaher & Choudhuri, 2016). Scant research exists in part because most institutions do not collect data on LGBTQ students, making it difficult to ascertain how many LGBTQ students enroll in community colleges and what their experiences are when on campus (Trimble, 2019.).While there is limited research available, literature does point to a "chilly" campus climate for LGBTQ students at community colleges. Literature has indicated that LGBTQ community college students have reported feeling isolated, unsupported, and as having experienced microaggressions in and out of the classroom (Garvey,
