It's not wrong, or an indication that the OP's priorities are out of whack, that she's asking that question. I knew, for example, that I wanted to go to a school with progressive politics. It was a foregone conclusion that I'd go to a college with great academics so I could focus on the campus atmosphere.
Even in 2013, it's totally reasonable that an LGBT student would focus on schools where he or she would be comfortable. That's a huge part of the "college search experience" and finding a good fit. It's just not, and has never been, academics first.
