In this article, Fassinger aims to illustratively tie together small fragments of literature that can offer promise in reviewing LGBT leadership issues. She uses a multidimensional model to suggest that the literatures used in this piece intersect in complex ways. It is important to note that her discussion is affirmative in that is does not create a problem of LGBT identity, but instead her discussion attempts to envelop the ways in which stigma and marginalization can affect both LGBT leaders and their followers.

Within that stigma and marginalization are four confounding factors: a concealable stigma, beliefs about control over the stigmatizing characteristic, oppression and discrimination receive considerable social sanction and public approval, and the stigmatized characteristic may not be known to the individual that possess it. It was concluded that LGBT identity could function as a distal or proximal influence on leadership (p. 212).
“Career Development, Lesbian Identity Development, and Campus Climate Among Lesbian College Students” (2003, Journal of College Student Development)
Hypothesis:
Previous research has made the connection that vocational development and identity formation have a significant positive relationship. Fassinger hypothesizes that there is a relationship between vocational development and lesbian identity development processes. Another hypothesis that Fassinger makes is that the climate of a campus is relevant to the psychosocial development of lesbian students because of the prevalence of and negative nature of homophobia and heterosexism on campuses
