Abstract
This study, Inclusive Leadership: Gay Student Governance in DMMMSU, is geared towards discovering the various experiences of Gay Student Leaders. Despite increasing inclusivity in many educational institutions, the role of gay individuals in student governance remains underexplored. Using a quantitative research design with total enumeration sampling, the researchers administered a validated survey questionnaire to 52 gay student leaders across the three DMMMSU campuses. The study aimed to assess their demographic profile, level of agreeability to various leadership styles, extent of involvement and influence, and the challenges and opportunities they face. Findings reveal that most GSLs favored democratic and transformational leadership styles, aligning with values of collaboration, inclusivity, and advocacy. The study also identified that while GSLs demonstrated strong involvement and influence within their student organizations, they encountered barriers such asstereotypes and prejudices. Nevertheless, they exhibitedresilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to inclusive leadership. As a result, the study proposed a policy recommendation to enhance leadership opportunities and institutional support for GSLs. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on gender, leadership, and representation in student governance and advocate for creating safer and more inclusive academic environments.
