<p>Kitkat, I haven’t seen the posts you’re referring to, but I don’t think they’re aimed so much at homophobic families as at straight people who are anxious to know there is room for them, too. My D is a first-year at Wellesley and loves it. She’s a devout Christian (and sometimes the only Christian in her classes) and has met with nothing but open-minded acceptance. One of her friends is a lesbian who says the same thing. There is a very active LGBT group on campus, and D says the people in her res hall are open about their orientation and no one seems to be judgmental. </p>
