Diginetgod,
If you learn before going there who he is, I suggest that you tell him about your sexuality and that you have no plans to hit on him. If he’s really homophobic, he’ll find a way to get another roommate before you move in so you won’t be bothered by him.

If what I suggest isn’t possible, I suggest that you tell him the day that you move in and also tell him that you have no plans to hit on him. If you have a partner, you also can tell him you’re taken.

My husband had a gay roommate when he was in grad school. My husband knew the guy was gay before they moved in together. Except for their sexual orientation, they had lots in common and got along very well. The only reason my husband moved out was because his roommate’s friends kept hitting on him and my husband said that became very annoying.
