<p>Then your 3 NYC attorneys are using it in a context my philosophy professors wouldn’t be very happy with. Oh well. Now we’re in an appealing-to-experts stalemate :)</p>
<p>How are you better qualified to comment on the experience of being gay at Lafayette than people who have actually lived it? There are some things you can’t tell from the outside. I’m not saying your speculation is worthless, but it’s absurd that you refuse to see any value in anyone else’s experiences with this issue. It’s also bizarre that you’re not distinguishing at all between a criticism and an attack–I certainly don’t see any attacks in Jason’s longer post, which is the one that led you to declare the discussion closed.</p>
<p>Your post describes your perceptions of gay life at Lafayette, as a straight man who goes there. My and Jason’s perceptions of the school don’t mesh with yours very well at all, and since the OP asked about factors like comfort, I think we’re in a better position to judge. What’s the harm in admitting that your perceptions may not match up to the lived reality?</p>
