<p>No, i'm pretty sure he meant that all Iranians are not gay.</p>
<p>There are 0 openly gay people in Iran as an obvious fact because you'd get your head chopped off...</p>
<p>We have no way of knowing what he meant. What he said was, "there are no gay people in Iran." So I'm assuming that's what he meant.</p>
<p>And you might be lucky if it was your head that got chopped off, guys!</p>
<p>there's a blank line for "gender" on the swarthmore application. i got creative with it, even though i identify as female. it's all about inclusiveness. liberal arts college kids tend to be big on subverting the gender binary, as weskid explained. i remember sitting in at the info session at swat last summer. the students talked earnestly about the construction of more gender-neutral bathrooms on campus. only one parent freaked, which was kind of amusing.
my mother only recently learned that we had gender-neutral bathrooms and was a bit wary of the idea, as liberal as she is. i told her it was not a big deal...i'll probably adjust to it quickly...and then she got over it.<br>
but as big as swat and other super-liberal lac's are on subversion of the gender binary, you most definitely could specify on the housing form if you wanted gender-specific bathrooms. there are several halls on campus that have those...and plus there are a few single rooms with private bathrooms. you will be accommodated if it's a housing priority, wherever you go (because seriously, if it's an option at my ultra-liberal school, where wouldn't it be an option?).</p>
