With respect to thwarted belongingness, researchers have posited that LGB college students have four primary interpersonal connections, which are to their family, peers, academic institution, and sexual orientation community (Haas et al., 2011).

I also examined whether or not sexual orientation (i.e., LGB or heterosexual) moderated the relationships between: (a) perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation, (b) the spheres of belongingness (i.e., family, peer, academic institution, and sexual orientation
