I think the good news on this is that it might cause some college students (mainly male) to confront the issue of homophobia. From my own experiences, it was almost always the guys who felt threatened. (I remember in college when it came out -pardon the pun- that a very good looking member of our college's track team was gay, the reaction of several women who knew her was: 1. No big deal. 2. Yeah! No chance of my boyfriend hooking up with her!)
BTW: I am a somewhat new poster on here, and I am really glad to see the progressive attitudes, especially from our moderate Republican greek sisters. I hope you ladies can help keep your party from being taken over by the nut jobs.

I can say I've noticed lately that more females I'm around now than before seem to be, if not threatened by, uncomfortable around lesbians. I didn't run into this in high school or in the first couple of years of college, but it seems to have come up several times recently. Of course, most of the men I know are at least a little homophobic. I don't know if it's just who I'm around now or what, but I really have noticed an increase in homophobia in females.
I do remember a lesbian woman on campus being mildly interested in coming to a COB party. One of my sorority sisters said she didn't want to even give her a chance because she wouldn't be comfortable being "hit on" by a sister. I asked her what made her think that because Suzy was a lesbian Suzy hit on every female in sight. I fail to understand the need for fear.
