coreyalexander2, your right in that I don’t want to be associated with that lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stand in the way of gay people living the way they want. My only issue is that it seems like over the past couple years gay pride has been everywhere and its sort of annoying how its being forced onto people all the time. The news is always talking about it, there’s always the stereotypical gay character in TV shows nowadays (Modern Family, Glee, Happy Endings, etc.), and now there’s a damn gay pride flag that I have to look at everyday before I go to my dorm and I’m sick of it all.

Also, If you think that a particular university will be free of all prejudices your in for a rude awakening. How long has it been since the civil rights movement when America was suppose to get over the race issue? Are there still racists in the US? (hopefully the answer is obvious). Granted there are some universities that will be more accepting and have a more vibrant gay culture, but there are going to be people who don’t accept gay people everywhere for a very long time.

Getting back to vanderbilt, I agree with what a lot of people have said thus far. A college experience is what you make it and if you let certain people bother you they will. If you decide to attend vanderbilt you’ll find some people who accept gays and others that don’t (just like everywhere else). I’d just focus on finding a core group of friends to have a good time with and ignore the people who have a problem with you.
