The purpose of this study was to explore in depth the experiences of self-identified LGBTQ+ Latinx students enrolled at California community college Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs). Grounded in Latino critical race theory (LatCrit), servingness, and queer theory underpinnings, this study used phenomenology to understand the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ Latinx students enrolled at California HSIs. A total of eight participants from different California HSIs were part of this study. Their experiences and voices were captured to make meaning of servingness from their perspective. As noted by the participants, servingness structures and identifiers should be inclusive of the multiplicity of identities both LGBTQ+ and Latinx students hold. Recommendations for practice and policy offer practitioners a tool to gauge ways to complicate and reconceptualize servingness and HSI policy. Keywords: LGBTQ+, Latinx, HSIs, community colleges
