Abstract
Having multiple identities, in this case gifted and LGBTQ+, that deviate from a student's school population majority and their community's majority can bring compounded challenges. Two goals of those working with gifted LGBTQ+ youth should be to recognize the challenges they face and help these youths “in building positive social supports that can serve as a buffer when difficult experiences occur” by creating a culture of belonging in their gifted program and classroom.
