If you straight son chooses not to “practice” homosexuality, I think he would find himself in a lot of company. However, if he announced that he thought homosexuality were sinful or wrong, I think his views would be challenged. But I don’t think this is unique to Oberlin. If you look at polls and surveys, you’ll find that most young people are accepting and tolerant of homosexuality and believe it is an orientation, not a choice. So he’s going to encounter the same views at most colleges – unless he goes to a place with a strong conservative bent.
