A Guide to LGBTQ+ Inclusion on Campus, Post-PULSE illuminates how good, bad, and indeterminate public legislation impacts LGBTQ+ communities everywhere, and it animates multiple layers of campus life, ranging from lessons within a three-year-old day care center to policy-making among senior administration.

The research in A Guide to LGBTQ+ Inclusion on Campus, Post-PULSE is premised on the notion that, because we cannot choose our sexual, racial, ethnic, cultural, political, geographic, economic, and chronological origins, with greater advantage comes greater responsibility to redistribute life´s resources in favor of those whose human rights are compromised and who lack the fundamental necessities of life. Among these basic rights are access to higher education and to positive campus experiences. Queer folk and LGBTQ+ allies have collaborated on this new text in response to the June 16, 2016 targeted murder of 49 innocent victims at the PULSE nightclub, Orlando, Florida. Seasoned and novice members of the academy will find professional empowerment from these authors as they explicitly discuss multiple level theory, policy, and strategies to support LGBTQ+ campus inclusion. Their work illuminates how good, bad, and indeterminate public legislation impacts LGBTQ+ communities everywhere, and it animates multiple layers of campus life, ranging from lessons within a three-year-old day care center to policy-making among senior administration. May the power of well-chosen words continue to deepen our understanding, clarify our communication, and empower us all as pro-LGBTQ+ campus activists.

"As someone who has been a part of campus life for the last fifty years, both as a student/faculty member and as a member of the LGBTQ academic community, I have witnessed the emergence of our community and the many challenges it has faced. That a book like this can be written is a remarkable testament to the struggles and achievements of our community. We have successfully established ourselves as an active and creative presence in academic life. Equally significant, the authors represented in this collection give us a sense of the many challenges and struggles that still exist, and importantly, they give us ideas that we need to confront and dismantle them. A Guide to LGBTQ+ Inclusion on Campus, Post-PULSE can be read as a roadmap for the future."-Fred Fejes, Professor, School of Communication and Multimedia Studies; Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies; and Fellow of the Peace, Justice and Human Rights Initiative, Florida Atlantic University
