Do Gays Fit In?

“I am sad to say, you will find non-accepting people at Tufts and Wesleyan.”

So very true.
But generally, though I’m not gay myself, I haven’t seen any sort of dislike for the gay community at Vandy. Like others have stated, you are going to find homophobes everywhere, but Vanderbilt has been far more accepting than I initially thought it was. You’ll find just about every type of person on campus, even if it’s only one. Yes, there’s the whole Greek life deal (I personally think it’s touted as being a bigger part of Vandy life than it really is, though it is big), and being in the South only ads to the outside bias about discrimination. That’s changed, especially considering a majority of the student body isn’t from the South. Also, if someone is discriminatory towards you, there will be plenty of people who will back you up and be there for support.
