On a similar note, a spokesperson for Duke’s Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, and Bisexual (LGBT) Center mentioned that some Duke LGBT students may also experience the stress of fitting in. The spokesperson reported that Duke LGBT students may struggle with feeling uncomfortable in peer groups that have no LGBT members and may be reluctant to reveal their sexual orientation to these groups if they have not already done so. Also, the spokesperson revealed that Duke LGBT students may feel as if members of their peer groups look down upon them or treat them poorly because of their sexuality.
