<p>Hi I was wondering what SUNY colleges are gay/lesbian friendly and have a pretty active gay/lesbian group/community.</p>
<p>I was looking at:
SUNY Genesseo
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Potsdam
SUNY Oswego
SUNY Oneonta</p>
<p>Which of these are the most lesbian friendly and have the most active gay/lesbian community?
Are there any others you would suggest I look at?</p>
<p>I would suggest contacting the organizations on campus that are for LGBTQ students to find out the answer to this question! I am sure they would all love to talk to you. Good luck.</p>
<p>New Paltz seems to have a very open minded atmosphere.</p>
<p>Definitely New Paltz.</p>
<p>You might want to post your question on Geneseo’s facebook page…</p>
<p>When you visit colleges look at the flyers on bulletin boards and the online events calendar; you can get a feel for the kind of students who go there. And definitely talk to current students.</p>
<p>I visited Geneseo back in the spring, and I saw signs and information for their Pride Alliance absolutely everywhere. It honestly seemed pretty accepting (more than I anticipated). Binghamton seems like a school where there are enough people that you would find your niche, regardless of what that may be. I can’t comment on the other schools.</p>
<p>Although New Paltz isn’t on your list, you should really consider it.</p>
<p>And if you do, then Women’s Studies is definitely a recommended course.
To be straightforward, I have never seen so many lesbian/bisexuals in one class. And I am not saying this in a negative way. I was personally amazed at how open so many students and professors were about their sexuality.</p>
<p>I live about 20 minutes from Geneseo at home (I go to college at SUNY Plattsburgh) and this area is overall accepting. However, Geneseo is a smaller town (although many liberal minded people live within the village) so directly outside of it people are may not be as accepting. However, in nearby Rochester, people are pretty accepting.</p>
