Gays at Williams

To be completely honest, the school is still fairly segregated in terms of who people hang out with predominately. After the freshman year, people hang out with their entries but social circles tend to include people of the same sport and/or ethnicity. The campus is openly accepting of LBGT, but the school is predominately an athletic school so I can see Teltar’s point as being fairly on point. It sounds like mythmom’s S doesn’t interact with this culture very much (kind of proving my former point) so doesn’t really know what the majority of the campus is like.

I personally had a gay friend who struggled to come out because of how many of the gay guys he tried to get with were very shy/undercover about their sexual preference. So while we are very accepting on the surface, its not the easiest thing to be LBGT at Williams. But then again, where is it easy to be LBGT.
