<p>“If you were a gay guy, would you be welcome and treated with dignity and respect at USC vs. “tolerated?” We are not looking for a politically correct answer, but we need to know the facts so that he can have a wonderful college experience.”</p>
<p>I’ve only skimmed through this thread, and this caught my eye. As a straight male, I can’t try to predict how your gay son would be treated. However, if this is any help at all, I have a gay friend who volunteers to help the Admissions office during one of the university’s scholarships interview process. We, along with several other students, worked on a student panel for the finalists. It certainly seems like he’s enjoyed his USC experience. I know in my group of friends, sexual orientation isn’t an issue at all. Hope this helps!</p>
