<p>Zoomers, I am an openly lesbian/genderqueer, (for those of you unfamiliar, genderqueer is pretty much a trans person, aka one who is born in the wrong body, but refuses to have surgery or do anything about it).</p>
<p>I am a graduate student who has pretty good stats in terms of attending a school for PhD.</p>
<p>The University of South Carolina was surprisingly, (my bias from not knowing the place), very receptive to my work, and supportive of what it means to have safety in a community that appears dangerous.</p>
<p>I am a Northerner who attends a college in a big college town; it’s very liberal here and gay = ok!</p>
<p>My point is that I think that your son would do well there since the campus strives to be inclusive to those who want a quality education in a safe environment. The downside? Well, off campus…may be tricky…but I can’t say for sure.</p>
<p>I live in Michigan. Ann Arbor is probably the most liberal town in the universe…yet drive up the road 40 minutes and you are in Howell which boasts having ties with the KKK. </p>
<p>Cathymee’s response…aka post 9 was pretty on point and the Bravo reference was funny!</p>
<p>Peace.</p>
