i was naive enough to think we didn't have any gay/lesbian students when i was in college. Sure, there was one or two guys who coordinated the homecoming fashion show, or a young lady that played a sport that you NEVER saw with a young man (or much less out on a date), but who payed attention to those type of high-school rumors? It was too stereotypical to be taken seriously. After graduation - people came out. then it was like, OH. o.k. so and so was gay. i wonder how we missed that?
however, a recent development when i go to football games and basketball games: i see some young men near the band imitating the dancers. Or some guys just really really really doing too much with their high fashion outfits (because you know, at an HBCU you need to be DRESSED to attend a sporting event
).
This is all new to me, so maybe the campuses aren't any more or less accepting of "the lifestyle" its just that students are more comfortable with expressing who they are.
