<p>When I went to Texas Women's University in Denton 30 years ago, they had a defacto gay women's dorm: Jones Hall.</p>
<p>The gay women had a lock on the best paying workjobs on campus and were highly organized.</p>
<p>Tolerance of Gays is not new. You just need to know where to look.</p>

<p>There's also Mt. Holyoke and Wellesley.</p>
<p>Your mention of UNC-CH surprises me, just because I live in the South (SC to be specific) and people around here are not all that tolerant. Although it could be less bad in NC, and especially at a big university, so I can understand it, I guess.</p>
<p>I'm going to agree that I'm suprised Wes an Vassar aren't ranked higher. It makes me sad, as a Wes student. How many of those other schools have a workshop within the first three days of orintation where other students come and explain gender nuetral promouns? And then have those pronouns actually used?</p>

UNC Chapel Hill is known for being extremely LGBT-friendly. The entire Triangle area is, in fact.</p>
<p>It's kind of hippy-druggy central but Hampshire College has is HUGE on sexuality/gender support. That's all they talked about on the tour.</p>
