<p>My experience has been that Williams students, staff, and faculty are overwhelming accepting and supportive, but the reality of a small school in an isolated location is that there just aren’t a whole lot of gay people (figure 4% of 1000 male students = roughly 40 gay guys, 10 in each class year), so the campus gay scene is not as visible or vibrant as it might be at larger / more urban schools where it’s easier to obtain a critical mass. I certainly wouldn’t be worried about homophobia at Williams, though.</p>
