<p>You fit in with the gay community but you are not gay and a republican… What do you even think the gay community means?</p>
<p>^ Yeah, really. Also, a question is: Do you want a gay community, or would you be fine without one? If you NEED one, then the list changes dramatically.</p>
<p>a lot of the activities i do… ie. working with aids research groups, musical theatre(manifestly, the people who are most involved in those groups are gay)
I don’t need one. but if i did …how would the list change?? all these schools seemed to be very gay</p>
<p>Those don’t sound like things that apply only to the gay community. You will probably find an active theater scene at most colleges. You will find AIDS research opportunities at most. You will find thriving activities of every sort imaginable at most schools. I wouldn’t worry about that at all. Unless you are gay or want to engage in activities that are expressly for gays (support groups, alliances, anti-discrimination protests, etc.) I wouldn’t worry about it at all.</p>
<p>I don’t go to any of those schools, so I can’t speak firsthand. However, I don’t think that Vanderbilt and Duke are known as socially progressive (read: they are typically known as conservative) campuses.</p>
<p>I think you need ask yourself what schools have good musical theater programs and are participating in AIDS research, not which schools have the most gay people. When you word the question like that it assumes that all homosexual people love musical theater and researching AIDS which enforces stereotypes.</p>
