About this ebook
The problem this project addresses is the sense of marginalization experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) and same-sex attracted (SSA) Christian college and university students. Data was collected via an online questionnaire and the study design mixed methods with an emphasis on the qualitative data. The study sample included eighty students/alumni from thirty-two Christian colleges/universities. Generally, respondents felt lonely, hid their sexuality, and reported a negative campus climate. Recommendations from respondents include: institutional policies must be clearer and applied consistently, improve campus climate, and form support groups for LGB and SSA students.

This is a wonderful book . I'm so grateful that the Yuan's took the steps to bridge the gap between "us and them ". I was experiencing conflict and confusion in my heart until Christopher connected the dots. I'm now teaching my sons how to love like Jesus (without hypocrisy) and judgement.
