Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between experiencing a marginalized identity (LGBQ status) and acknowledging the advantages of one’s White privilege. In an online survey, White sexual minority students (n=122) reported greater White privilege awareness and lower social dominance and modern racism compared to White heterosexual students (n=1,342).
