<p>Yea, so the mail just came and along came my housing info sheet with the name of my two roomates. Facebooked them to gauge who they are and yea, one of them is apparently gay. well..ok his pictures seem to say hes gay and he doesnt have a interested in Females line. So just wondering if anyones ever had a gay roomate and what was it like? Did you two get along fine? Any conflict? Anything I shoudl know about?</p>
<p>I did. For the duration of freshman year. It's fine. Third roommate was fine with it too.</p>
<p>I wouldn't take anything on Facebook seriously...a lot of people have fun with their profiles, or don't reveal everything about themselves. You hopefully shouldn't be forming any notions about the guy until you meet him.</p>
<p>if it woudl be possible i woudl show you those pics. but theres a good chance id be a) banned from this site (not a problem, just make a new account but still) b) sued.
ok fine but at the very least hes extremely...flamboyant. so im just asking for more opinions in CASE he truly is gay.</p>
<p>Just relax, having a gay roommate is no different from having a straight roommate.</p>
<p>if he's gay is that really a problem? i know plenty of gay guys and they're cool. take this oppurtunity to get to know someone different. im sure you guys will become friends.</p>
<p>nah im politically moderate and socially moderate so basically i dont give care as long as im not in a ****ed off mood.
basically im just asking, is htere anything i should be expecting</p>
<p>I know plentyof guys that "look" as if, more the metrosexual type, definitely lady interests,but you would NEVER know it by looking at them from a picture. Relax, what is there to expect?</p>
<p>Nah I have a few gay friends. Just becareful what you say as in dont say "Thats so freakin GAY" or "your a f*g" things like that within their earshot
However, I've never had an instance where I saw my gay friends hook up. Dont know if your gay friend will ever bring one over I think thats th eonly thing you'll have to concern urself with.</p>
<p>Is he Republican like me? If not, you may have a problem. I'm sorry, but gay Democrats are just hard to live with.</p>
<p>JK! I'm rooming with one next year ;). Anyway, just don't steal his boyfriend and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>hmmm metro, i forgot about that. he might be. yea ok i guess ill just respect him for it and not be offensive and we shoudl be fine. heck for all i know he'll be a chick magnet which is bonus for me</p>
<p>Just because a guy is effeminate/flamboyant doesn't mean that he is gay.</p>
<p>No he doesn't want to have sex with you because usually the people that are so worried about being around a gay person as if they are some other species and less then human are extremely unattractive and lack personality.</p>
<p>^Har har. </p>
<p>Don't take anything on Facebook too seriously.</p>
<p>Anything you should be expecting...? Um, you should expect to be living with a gay guy? There's really nothing else you can tell from just that fact.</p>
<p>Just don't be a douche and you'll be fine. Don't expect him to be more discreet about his sexuality/sex life than you would want from a straight roommate (i.e. you'd probably be okay with a roommate having his girlfriend stay over once in a while within agreed parameters, so the same should be true of a boyfriend). Don't use slurs (whether or not he's in earshot, it's an ignorant thing to do). Don't freak out about changing when he's in the room.</p>
<p>There's nothing wrong with gay men. I am straight, but IMO gay men are some of the most genuinely kind people you will ever meet, (and no, not because they think you're hot). Some are a little wild though, and will make stupid comments (one commented on my "behind")...that was a little far.</p>
<p>Having a gay roomate shouldn't be a problem unless they are 300 lbs and don't understand no.</p>
<p>Hm.....so coming from the opposite side of the equation (that of the gay roommate) - my straight roommate freshman year (and sophomore since we decided to stay together a second year) would probably say that it went well. I think our only points of conflict were over normal roommate issues .... such as cleanliness and sleep schedules. Then again, he didn't seem like the type to be asking people if there was "anything to expect" from a gay roommate as if we were a different species or something.</p>
<p>Club 2400 Will Never Be What Cc Is!!!! Give It Up!!!!</p>
<p>Honestly, unless you go to an extremely liberal school or your roommate is militantly gay, I'm guessing they're going to be fairly careful about not doing anything to make you uncomfortable. They know that though people on the whole are lightening up about homosexuality, many are still aren't comfortable with it just because they were raised with that being against the social norm. Just be equally courteous in refraining from using slang terms they probably find offensive, and anything else that might make them feel uncomfortable about their sexuality.</p>
