Gay Roommates and Homophobia

<p>I saw a post regarding what it would be like for you if you had a gay roommate. It really is all a matter of preference and personal beliefs and comfort zones, but I saw a wide variety of answers on the forum. I wanted to ask this in the UCSD forum. How would you feel?</p>

<p>Weird, but i'd get over it. I'm from SF afterall.</p>

<p>Ummm...I don't think I'd be comfortable with it. But I guess as long as he's not bringing any playmates over...</p>

<p>im sure a lot of future gay roommates are just as uncomfortable revealing that theyre gay to the person theyll spend a whole year with, specifically the just out of the closet ones. im not sure if i can say the same about the flamming ones. but ucsd is about diversity, right?!</p>

<p>Ummm...well we have the lowest number of african americans attending out of all the other UCs. Anyway, having a gay roommate would be a bit like sharing a room with the opposite sex; especially when it's a flamming one hee hee</p>

<p>haha i forgot UCSD doesn't have that many afrian americans. too many asians and whites, no offense. anyways, i know/know-of a lot of gays that are like "regular" dudes, except they like dudes.</p>

<p>Yup, so do I. I'm not a homophobic, but actually sharing a room with one would be weird for me; I'd always be wondering if he was checking me out haha especially since he's probably going to see me sleeping in pretty much nothing (i just sleep in boxers), but I wouldn't have much of a problem sharing the same suite.</p>

<p>it would kinda be good - gay guys usually make friends w/ hot chicks and they might be in your room a lot</p>

<p>I wouldn't mind as long as we both agree to no sex with our 'significant others' in the room (I dont think either of us would be anxious to walk in on the other). Would be nice for help with clothing.</p>

<p>hmmm...good point shacked...very good point. i like it haha.</p>

<p>and wayyytooworried...that would definitely solve a lot of my problems with the whole thing...although i think i would want to have sex in my room at some point haha. maybe we could set up a schedule.</p>

<p>Like I've said before, if I had a roommate at all, I'd love if she was gay. HOTT.</p>
