<p>I haven’t attempted to read the back half of this post. op i don’t see why you have to tell him at all. i would just assume that you treat each other like humans instead of “gay guy” and “straight guy”(maybe) roommate.</p>
<p>if it happens to come up then it’s fine to say. i just don’t see why you want to make a point out of it.</p>

<p>I don’t want to make a point of it. It’s the many straight people out there who want to make a point of it.</p>
<p>I’d recommend you to actually read the thread. :)</p>
<p>As an atheist myself, I honestly don’t see why some Christians can’t tolerate GLBTs. I also don’t see why people can’t determine right and wrong for themselves. Some interpretations of scripture shows itself as very intolerant to those who either go against the flow of the teachings or those who seem to endanger the teachings themselves. For an example, one would be the "unequally yolked(or is it yoked?) interpretation. Tolerance should be more widespread. Personally, I am a heterosexual, but I would have no problem with a gay roommate as long as I didn’t wake up to see him staring over me with lust in his eyes, not that I would expect that of him anyways. As far as I am concerned, gay people don’t bite and until they do, I will have no reason to dislike them as a whole.</p>
<p>I love atheists. My blessings~</p>
<p>I got my roommate info! I’ve added him on facebook, now I’m just waiting…</p>
<p>Woot, I got my roommate today as well. I need to go check and see who the dude is… lol.</p>
<p>EDIT: Son of a bi@#%, my roommate doesn’t have a n00bspace or anything to find him with, ■■■.</p>
<p>Good luck, cdover. I’m sure things will work out in your favor.</p>
<p>Thanks Plattsburgh :).</p>

<p>Oh noez! That’s frustrating. You’d assume everyone was online social networked, but I guess not.</p>
<p>Just don’t dare show your face in his presence and you will be ok.</p>
<p>Any tips for gay students who will meet their roommate only on the day they move in (school policy)? I have a game plan (tell them fairly soon after meeting) but I’d be open to other opinions.</p>
<p>Good luck to the OP. Remember, it’s their loss if they can’t tolerate you.</p>
<p>Actually, I think it might be in interesting idea to slowly let it out. Show your roommate how normal you act, as opposed to how straight people might think gays tend to act. Show no attraction towards him or no more friendliness than any straight person would. Don’t do it for too long before you reveal it as he may think you’re hitting on him.</p>
<p>Think that’s a viable strategy? I just made it up. Lol. :)</p>
<p>
…Seriously?! Did you just say that?
cdover is a guy, there is no reason for him to room with a girl.</p>
<p>Gah…I’m sorry cdover. I’m totally speaking for you here man. Feel free to correct me :]</p>
<p>No really, some colleges now have an option where you can choose to be assigned someone of the same gender, partially for this reason. And many colleges have mixed halls with same-gender dorms. Your roommate may or may not be straight, but they’re definitely open-minded.</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen on his profile pic, I am definitely (and I am going to bold that: definitely,) not attracted to him. I really don’t think he’s gonna misinterpret anything I say to him as indication of being attracted.</p>
<p>[edit] That was really a-hole for me to say that 
I’m sure he has a great personality.</p>

You should like… room with a girl.

<p>Haha, I wouldn’t mind to actually. My first choice college gave me the choice to room with a girl freshman year, and I totally would’ve taken them up on it if they weren’t asking for full tuition.</p>
<p>Anyway, it doesn’t look as if he uses his Facebook much; he’s not even on the Class of 2013 group. He doesn’t have a MySpace, or a profile on the school-administered social network (which is weird because I thought everyone had to create an account). So I’m getting kind of anxious figuring out how to bring it up before we meet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Aw ^^. Good luck to you, too! We might both have to come up with a plan on telling them face-to-face</p>
<p>^ Haha, thanks, you too! Lemme know how things turn out with you.</p>
<p>Ask him if he wants to suck your dick. Whether he says yes or no, he’ll probably deduce you’re gay if you don’t sound like you’re joking. If he says yes, two birds with one stone.</p>
<p>LOL. Bluebubbles, I just realizes you’re going to Stanford (as opposed to a university in South America).</p>
