Here is my take as a parent of a senior. A friend of mine has a daughter who is a very politically active lesbian who was considering Haverford. I asked my son about how welcomed this student might be and his perspective is that HC is very open and accepting of all different types of folks. His girlfriend held the same opinion. What I have observed (and this is just my opinion) the students at HC are kind hearted, open minded intellectuals where the Quaker heritage of acceptance constantly plays in the backround. I don’t know how active the GLBT community is at HC but I really believe that for the most part each individual is welcomed for who he/she is. Hope that helps.
