It's best to be clear about what you want. "Open-minded" or "non-discriminatory" are vague terms; no one would say that they're not an open-minded person. If you specifically want a gay-friendly roommate, write "gay-friendly", which leaves no room for confusion. Lewis & Clark has a pretty large queer community, from what I've heard, so it's likely that there will be other LGBQ students with the same request. Best case scenario, you end up with one of them. Second best, they try to find you someone who seems accepting, even if their paperwork doesn't explicitly state that they're gay-friendly.
