This study examined the organized leisure experiences of young people who identify as lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, and queer (LBGTQ). Data were gathered through interviews, participant observation, and review of program documents at an organized leisure program for LBGTQ youth. Findings illustrate that participants experienced oppression due to their sexual identities, which manifested as both a lack of educational resources and social isolation. Two lines of resistance emerged as significant—individual acts (e.g., sharing stories of being a marginalized person) and organizational acts such as leisure-based activities. The importance of attending to the complexity of resistance in leisure research and practice is discussed.
