<p>Wow. I can say that comment is pretty atypical of most Wellesley students seeing as most people here have the good sense not to say such things. Most people have the good sense not believe in such things an “us” versus “them” mentality in regards to the LBQT community. People are people Wellesley as a school is extremely queer friendly. Sadly, bigots are everywhere: I cruise the Wellesley specific forum all the time, but found out about this thread through Wellesley’s community, where people have been wondering how a tour guide would be so dense and concerned about the girl’s privacy.</p>
<p>I can see where the sentiment comes from. The biggest LBQT issue for Wellesley students is not the existence of an LBQT community, but rather the rude inquiries and comments about the LBQT community from people who have never set foot on campus. I imagine the conservative tour guide gets more of these questions than most people and gave the stock answer that she uses to placate her even less tolerant friends and acquaintances. No excuse for the rudeness though.</p>
