<p>Do any students/alum/parents know Olaf's climate regarding homosexuality?</p>
<p>I really like Olaf but do not wish to attend if 60% of the student body will shun me and treat me as a lesser being =[ Will I make friends? (outside of the gay community.) </p>
<p>ANY information about gay students at St. Olaf would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>You won't be shunned by the majority of the school. I know plenty of gay men here, particular in the music and dance departments, and it's pretty much a non-issue. There is a chapter of GLOW here, a gender/sexuality center, and campus house that students can live in that deals with GLBT issues.<br>
Really, the school is not as conservative as many make it out to be. As in any situation there may be people who don't agree with homosexuality, but I can't think of a single situation in the two years that I've been here where people I know have faced outward discrimination.</p>
