This qualitative study examines the perspectives of Extension directors and state 4-H program leaders regarding the necessity and challenges of LGBTQ+ inclusion within the 4-H club program. The research found that administrators overwhelmingly recognize the presence of LGBTQ+ youth and are committed to inclusion, yet they face significant internal and external pushback, termed "Shifting Focus Friction" (SFF), from stakeholders who resist organizational change.
