Gay Life

<p>How is the gay life at cornell?</p>

<p>@anonymous886 I was about to post the same thing! Curious to see what people respond</p>

<p>I expect that most people will be tolerant and understanding of gay students, but there of course will be students who have homophobia. </p>

<p>Again, most students will think that someone’s preference is private and personal and will not judge someone based on that.</p>

<p>I recently looked that up on some rankings and I did find Cornell on a list by Campus Pride. Here’s the link [Top</a> 25 LGBT-Friendly Colleges And Universities As Ranked By Campus Pride Index](<a href=“HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost”>Top 25 LGBT-Friendly Colleges And Universities As Ranked By Campus Pride Index | HuffPost Voices)</p>

<p>I do agree with lboss1223, there will always be some homophobes wherever you go.</p>

<p>I’m not gay, so I can’t tell you from experience, but there’s some recent-ish articles from the Daily Sun that could maybe provide insight:

<p>To find out more about gay life visit the Haven Cornell Facebook page. Haven is Cornell’s LGBT Student Union. Also, any other gay culture-related questions you can pm Terence Looi on Facebook! Good luck with decisions.</p>

<p>I think it would really only be an issue if you wanted to join a fraternity, and even then, some fraternities have openly gay members.</p>

<p>In general, nobody will discriminate against you. This is Cornell, not Liberty University. And with at least 7% of the population being gay, there’s plenty of potential partners for you and stuff. You’ll just have to look harder.</p>

<p>7% isn’t bad at all!</p>
