ABSTRACT

Any single approach to students’ heterosexism and homophobia, however well conceived and executed, is most successful when supported by an integrated campus approach to the problem. Taking as a model the multifaceted efforts at California State University, Fresno—a large public institution located in what can be considered the state’s Bible Belt—this essay discusses the strengths and logistics of a campus-wide program to address homophobia and alleviate LGBTQ students’ feelings of alienation from the institution and their oppression in society. The efforts of CSUF take place at a number of different levels—classroom, academic department, student services, faculty networking—and can be considered a successful work in progress.
