<p>I know that Pepperdine is affiliated with the Church of Christ, but is it gay friendly? By gay friendly I mean the student body and administration are tolerant of it.</p>
<p>While D was visiting campus, I spent a lot of time looking around on my own & reading bulletin boards. I didn't ever see anything that even mentioned gay students -- and this is probably the only college we've visited where I didn't see something. YMMV</p>
<p>from everything ive read one of the biggest complaints among girl students is that there is a disproportionate number of females to male and that a lot of the males are gay...look up reviews a lot of them mention gay guys</p>
<p>I live near Pepperdine, and I occasionally read the student newspaper. A few years ago, I remember seeing a story about a student whose request to start a gay-straight alliance club at the school was rejected by the administration because acceptance of homosexuality was considered to be inconsistent with the teachings of the Church of Christ.</p>
<p>I know the administration at Pepperdine went to some lengths to distance the school from a "Yes on 8" TV commercial which prominently featured a Pepperdine professor last fall, so perhaps their position on homosexuality is softening. But if I were gay, I'd explore this further - I'm not sure that I'd want to go to a school at which the administration considered my sexual orientation to be unacceptable.</p>
