In an attempt to highlight the real and detrimental impacts of normative heterosexual and cisgender ideologies on Ontarian students the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) has committed itself to elevating student voices on this issue. OUSA conducted a mixed-methods, primary research project to provide understanding of the opinions and experiences of LGBTQ+ identifying students. Student responses were collected using an online survey, which yielded 311 valid responses from university students across Ontario. While most results were positive, findings that a fifth of respondents felt uncomfortable in campus life, accompanied by responses implicating instructors as a source of this discomfort, suggest there is an on-going need for educators to work harder to incorporate diverse perspectives about both gender and sexual orientation into university curricula. Content analysis of open-ended survey responses was used to describe the barriers students experienced. Diversity orientation and course content were referenced most often among open-ended responses. Diversity orientation was also most often cited as a barrier and problematic assumptions were identified as barriers more often than course content. Training was most often identified as a solution, suggesting this is a strategy that faculty can adopt to increase their diversity orientation and decrease problematic assumptions. Educators must recognize their responsibility for facilitating safe, empowering classrooms; this research offers seven strategies for accomplishing this goal.  \nppression and marginalization of people who  \nOidentify as LGBTQ+ persist on university  \ncampuses despite their right to be free of discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Specifically, LGBTQ+ students continue to face significant barriers to visibility and acceptance throughout their university careers. All members of the university community have a role to play in ensuring this trend does not continue. In an attempt to highlight the real and detrimental impacts of normative heterosexual and cisgender ideologies on  \nstudents the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance has committed itself to elevating student voices on this issue.  \nRose (2015) conducted a mixed methods, primary research project to provide understanding of the opinions and experiences of students who do not conform to heterosexual and cisgender paradigms—this includes those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Two-spirit, Queer, or Questioning. Individuals outside of cisgender paradigms may identify as trans, gender non-binary, genderqueer,  \ngenderfluid, agender, or any other descriptor that indicates that their gender identity does not correspond with their birth-assigned sex (Egale Canada Human Rights Trust [Egale], 2013) . Student responses were collected using an online survey, which yielded 311 valid responses from university students across Ontario. The survey asked about LGBTQ+ individuals’ feelings of comfort and inclusion on campus; access to dedicated clubs, events, and safe spaces; classroom experiences; experiences with health services and counselling; and academic and extra-curricular engagement.  \nWhile most results were positive, findings that one in five respondents still felt uncomfortable in campus life, accompanied by responses implicating instructors as a source of this discomfort, suggest there is an on-going need for educators to work harder to incorporate diverse perspectives about both gender and sexual orientation into university curricula.
