Abstract	Although scholars have examined how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ+) students perceive their collegiate environments, few quantitative studies disaggregate data to see how populations within the LGBQ+ community experience certain outcomes. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate how student subgroups within the LGBQ+ community differed in their perceptions of belongingness, institutional commitment, and outness. Using large-scale, multi-institution data from thousands of first-year and senior undergraduates, we examined how these important affective outcomes differ by sexuality groups (e.g., gay/lesbian, bisexual, or queer) and when the intersections of sexual and racial/ethnic identities are considered. Findings suggest that within-group differences exist in LGBQ+ student populations that are not necessarily visible when understanding these communities in monolithic ways. We then offer implications for research and student affairs practitioners. (As Provided).
