I think Williams is extremely accepting of gays; sexuality is basically a non-issue for most people here and overt homophobia is pretty much unheard of (at least within my realm of experience; I can’t speak for every possible sports team but I do know gay guys on several teams who seem to do fine). That said, I would largely agree with Teltar as to the challenges of being gay at Williams - the nature of any small college is that the pool of potential partners is very finite, and being gay takes that problem to a whole different level. I would guess there are maybe twenty openly gay kids of each gender at Williams, some of them already in committed relationships, so I imagine the pickins are very, very slim.
