Contrary to popular beliefs, the Gay population at CMC isn't non existent. In fact, our student body- ASCMC president is gay.

Having said that, I've noticed some differences between homosexual students at CMC and lets say Pomona. At Pomona every door has a huge sticker saying ' I support Queer Rights'. CMC- not quite. Most of us support natural and constitutional rights and that seems to cover it!

Gay students at CMC don't publicize or draw attention to the fact that they are gay. They are as important as any other member of the CMC community and therefore they behave like everyone else at classes, career events or the Ath to give a few example. They don't have that high pitched sing-song accent that many homosexuals that I have met tend to exhibit. Chances are you won't even know if a students gay because we respect individuality in tastes and preferences. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Feminist- no student will invade your privacy and shove themselves into your face.

My girlfriend goes to Pomona and the situation is very different. Acting extremely gay and focussing all attention and exhibiting your homosexuality are encouraged over there. I know I'm verbose but its hard to explain this. A good example is a South Park Episode titled the Death Camp of Tolerance. There's Denzel Washington Philadelphia Gay and there's Boat Trip gay. We're the former.
