Abstract
This paper addresses Stevens’ (2004) model of gay male identity development in the context of sexual minority campus climate research. Using this model, the paper explores implications of identity development in the context of different levels of campus inclusivity. Inconsistencies are identified in the research, and contributing factors are explored. Specifically, the implications of time as an aspect of campus climate are cited, based on the rapidly changing public attitudes towards same-sex marriage. Ultimately, a model to help determine whether men will perceive a friendly or chilly campus climate if publicly out is proposed.
