My daughter’s first roommate was gay and my DD is not. Her roommate put it on her facebook page when she was looking for somebody to room with. They were basically compatible in all other areas so my DD asked her to be a roommate. It worked out great, still best friends after 3 years.
My youngest DD is going to a college that will offer gender neutral dorming next year. It is a suite situation, each student has their own bedroom with a shared living/bathroom situation. 27% of the kids have signed up for it. They won’t have enough room. BTW, this is a public college in Texas. I’m proud they are offering this.
