Homonegativity and Residence Hall Climate Perceptions

Discussion Questions
1. What can you do as a professional to take deliberate steps to gain knowledge, refine attitudes, and develop the skills needed to work with people who have a different sexual orientation/identity (from your own)? 2. Human beings typically fear what they do not know. In this article, Hughes (1994) notes the tendency for populations to separate themselves in the residence halls by sexual orientation/identity. What can professionals within housing/residence life do to combat the strong desire to separate by demographics and/or attitudes? Do the results of this study support consideration of a special-interest residence hall for LGBT students? 3. The authors note several psychological impacts of homophobia on LGBT students. These include a sense of internalized homophobia (self-doubt, isolation, attempting to be heterosexual, identifying with aggressors, inability to function socially or academically, self-hatred/loathing, and self-destructive behavior). What can student affairs or housing professionals do to support those who feel or experience homonegativity within their respective campus environment? 4. How can professionals in student affairs help LGBT students deal with physical and psychological forms of abuse and discrimination? What resources are available on your campus to help student affairs or housing professionals who want to counter homonegativity? 5. Adolescence and young adulthood are developmental periods in which many individuals come to terms with their sexual identity. What are the challenges faced by college-aged students as they come to terms with their sexual orientation/ identity? What are the different or additional challenges faced by students who identify as LGBT? 6. What are some ethical standards in the profession associated with interactions with students from the LGBT community? Why do these standards exist? How does your respective campus integrate these standards into practice?
