<p>St. Edwards is a catholic school so that should put some perspective on it. Trinity is fairly conservative as well. Texas State doesn’t seem to be as accepting as UT but for the most part you shouldn’t run into serious problems.</p>
<p>I live in Austin, so just thought I’d add something re: St. Edward’s. If you think it’s a good match for you, I’d talk with the student leaders of the GLBT/straight alliance, which has been active on campus for a while. Note, also, that for many, St. Ed’s is a commuter school. Interestingly, it is physically located in the part of Austin that might be considered most liberal, gay-friendly and “hip.”</p>
<p>With all that said, the policies of the church do present “issues.” I found this article confirming my memory of a recent incident.</p>
<p>PS-I see you added Southwestern. I don’t know about it’s gay friendly quotient, but I’d be concerned that Georgetown doesn’t offer enough in the way of urban life, and certainly night life, that would appeal to college kids used to the DFW metroplex. It all depends on what you like to do with your free time and for entertainment, though! It’s another nice school that has a lot going for it–again, a visit (overnight) would be wise.</p>
