<p>is USC gay-friendly???</p>
<p>I would think so. Don't know for sure.</p>
<p>All my friends who go there are. L.A. in general is pretty accepting, of course, there will be a bad apple or two here or there.</p>
<p>Of course it is. Where else would all those sorority girls get such great fashion advice?</p>
<p>Here is some good information about the LGBT program:
USC</a> - Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered Student Support</p>
<p>Also, USC was recently ranked in the top 20 LGBT schools in the US. Here is the Daily Trojan article about it:
USC</a> in top 20 LGBT schools - News</p>
<p>That surprises me to a degree. I know that most colleges are liberal, but I would expect a private school like USC to be a bit more conservative, at least in comparison.</p>
<p>it is really hard to be conservative in LA, when you experience every social area on a daily basis it is hard to be prejudice.</p>
<p>Indeed, USC is very gay friendly- if I'm not mistaken in tied with UPenn for most gay friendly college. There are lots of ways to get involved on the political/volunteer level and of course on the social level. If you have any specific questions, feel free to pm me as I am a USC student who is very involved with LGBT activites and leadership on campus.</p>
<p>yes, it is very LGBT friendy.
Their lgbt organization, the GLBTA was voted "student organization of the year."
They have a variety of programming, alot of different ways to get involved, and they even have a "Rainbow Floor" in one of the buildings for LGBT students to live.</p>
<p>They even have a freshman organization called the "Freshman Advocacy Board" for Freshman students to plan events, take leadership positions, and get to know one another.</p>
<p>If you have any more questions, PM me. I know many of the students who currently run LGBT programs @ USC, am working for the GLBTA in fall '08, and can help you get more involved if you want to.</p>
<p>What does that mean? Gay people are born that way, who cares where they go to college!</p>
<p>It’s gay friendly; none of my friends that are gay seem to have any difficulty at USC at all</p>
<p>C’mon people. Sugar coating everything is not helping this guy out. I’m not gay but the guy who lives next to me is. Sure, there is a SMALL gay community on campus that is pretty active where he can do his thing but outside of that community I would say NO, the school is not accepting. If you want gay-friendly, go to a UC school.</p>

<p>Hmmm I have a mixed opinion on this. I’d say it’s “gay friendly” in that you won’t be harassed or anything TO YOUR FACE. But, as someone mentioned earlier, USC still leans to the conservative side, so you might encounter a significant amount of people who are uncomfortable with it/have never dealt with it before so are kind of awkward about it. But I DO think you can be gay AND happy here, if you are very comfortable with yourself and willing to find your niche (I’ve seen it :))</p>
<p>Yes, very!</p>
<p>I’m not sure where the talk about USC not being gay-friendly comes from - Everyone I’ve met is really open-minded, there is a large and thriving gay community, it’s honestly one of the most accepting environments ever! Well, at least I think so, being queer and all.</p>
<p>It’s kind of like asking will I make friends at USC? YOU have to put in the effort and be nice and accepting of yourself. If you accept yourself, so will others. Don’t let your sexuality or anything else stop you from being you.</p>
<p>And please note that this is a three-year-old thread inexplicably pulled up by MindySue… (post #10)</p>
<p>and a lot can change in three years!</p>
<p>Yes, it is.</p>
