well.......I would assume so. I know that at Bard that there is a large left handed population which has been studied to be linked to homosexuality, but of course just because bard is so liberal artsy I would find it doubtable that there wouldn't be a significant gay population. why so worried?
copied from the facebook group from a current student: "Bard has a relatively large umber of GLBT people, and I have to say that, in my epxerience, there's almost no homophobia/biphobia here. (Transphobia is a somewhat different matter. Ditto sexism, for that matter.) On the other hand, Bard is also a little bit on the sexually repressed/frustrated side."

From what my brother told me, it has a pretty large gay population (although, he did just transfer there from Binghamton so it's also probably his comparison between the schools). But here's how his first night went:
He was sitting in the caf was talking to two guys across the table from him. He (my brother) gets up to get food and comes back the the two guys are making out. My brother looks next to him and asks the girl there if this happens all the time at Bard. The girl, in a VERY deep voice, merely responds with a "yes" and goes about finishing her food.
That was my brother's "welcome to Bard" moment and he says it's pretty much the same as that still.
