<p>That’s a fair compromise you suggested. But I guess that anti-discrimination policies would note operate exactly this way. It would be discrimination to ban someone from a social activity, or for living in a given floor/hall, because of one’s sexual option.</p>
<p>By analogy, however, I can contemplate that if an heterossexual male student feels in any way harassed by a gay male student (or hetero female x lesbian whatsoever) who share a room, Residence and Dining Services would take prompt action as they would do if some heterossexual was harassed by a floor-mate of the opposite sex. Because sharing a room is an even more delicate situation than sharing a floow, squad or wing, action should be even stiffer.</p>
<p>I really think that don’t ask/don’t tell is the best approach for most environments (workplace, assignments, classwork, military etc.) If sexual option is not an issue (and it rarely should be), there’s no need to start inquiring ppl about it, and there’s no need to publicizing it loudly everytime.</p>
<p>However, I have little to no pattience with any dating-style approach from gay ppl. It’s not that it happens frequently to me (I know some straight guys appreciate gays having crush on them, it’s not my case). Little pattience applies in a clubbing situation. No pattience applies to a classmate who surely have reason to know I’m straight and would dare do try any approach that cross the friendship or courtesy line.</p>
