Gay Students at UR

[CBGMass]

<p>I'm looking over the website but don't see anything related to the LGBT community. How are gay students accepted at UR?</p>

<p>You might check out UR’s Pride Network</p>

<p>[Univeristy</a> of Rochester Pride Network](<a href=“http://sa.rochester.edu/pn/index.html]Univeristy”>Home)</p>

<p>Also check out The Empty Closet</p>

<p>

The Empty Closet is one of the oldest continuously published LGBT papers in the United States. It was begun at the University of Rochester by Bob Osborn and Larry Fine, the founders of the UR student group, Rochester Gay Liberation Front, and later transferred to the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley (GAGV). </p>

<p>In 2010, the Empty Closet celebrated its 40th year of continuous publication. As it always has, the newspaper covers local, state, national and international news, as well as issues pertaining to the LGBT community.

<p>The Gay scene in U of R seems awesome. It’s very accepting, they celebrate National Coming Out Day, there’s Pride Network and there’s the drag shows. There’s also a lot of gay bars in Rochester that students go to in the weekends. </p>

<p>I’m not really involved in the LGBT community that much but from what I’ve seen it looks pretty tight. The people are really nice and I’d like to attend their events sometime.</p>
