<p>^ Maybe jay115 is just a little bit embittered. However, jay115, I think it’s important that you understand how what you said came out. The entire thing felt malicious - there’s no way that candyman92486 can PRESUME that you’re gay, because your response had no supporting substance. Why didn’t you include all of that at the start? A reasonably intelligent person is going to question the purpose of what you’re writing; we can’t assume the perspective. Your response was indeed very ad hominem. </p>
<p>Sadly, I’ve heard similar things about a lot of rural-ish areas in PA. My boyfriend just started school today, spent the weekend at his campus and is terrified. When there was an acceptance (play? drama? something of that nature) show shown many of the people (including his six, very heterosexual) roommates began mocking the production and making negative gay remarks. He also laughed a bit at first, but then realized that it was becoming excessive and soon felt really miserable. He says he plans on not telling anyone over there, which, while I find counterproductive, I really have to understand. It doesn’t seem very positive at all. It feels very lonely if the only thing on your side is administration :-(</p>
<p>Come to NYU! :-)</p>
