American Journal of Education, 121(2), 271-297. doi:10.1086/679393Prior literature on educational attainment indicates that there is both a female advantage and an LGB bonus: women are more likely to have earned bachelor's degrees than men, and lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) persons are more likely to have earned a bachelor's degree than heterosexuals. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, I run logistic regressions on respondents' likelihood of having a bachelor's degree as a function of both gender and sexuality. I find that the female advantage and LGB bonus do not hold for sexual minority women, who are the gender and sexuality group least likely to have completed college.© 2015 by The University of Chicagohttp://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/0195-6744/College CompletionUnited-StatesGayAdolescentsPopulationImpactArticle
