We don’t know any gay male students going to top lacs. They all want to go to USC or UCLA or schools with a big dating pool. There’s not that many gay men in the world.

Are you for real? My DS is gay and he says there's a sizeable queer community (possibly half?) at SLACs and LACs. Very big community at Williams, Swat, Pomona, CMC, Vassar, etc.

The two boys from our small private who went to Williams last year are both gay. WASP schools are very attractive to gay boys.

+1 DS said maybe 25% of the males in his class were gay, and 60% LGBTQ+, at a WASP LAC

Stop it, you’re just spewing nonsense.

Ours goes to pomona. He can actually count the gay men on his hands
and would be missing just a few. When you factor a wide majority straight athletes and all the Econ/CS bros which make up a substantial part of SLACs, it’s not that many. There’s a lot more queer women.

Funnily enough, go back a decade and a half and Pomona was deeply homophobic with a substantial frat scene. Funny how quick LACs changed their reputations.

Definitely not Amherst.

If my son was gay and also not an athlete, I wouldn't encourage small schools of any kind.

There are too many options out there.

(If my son was gay and an athlete, no problem)

I would encourage SLACs that feel like a good cultural and academic fit, and are part of a larger consortium. So any WASP except Williams.

Have no idea what you are talking about and where you got this from

I don’t see why. There’s very few queer people in the areas of WASP other than Pomona, and even then, you’d need to go out to LA to meet most of them.
I’m also doubting that Williams has a better queer scene than UCLA or NYU.

It’s 2026. There are lots of other considerations. For gay guys deeply involved in music, SLACs can be a great match. Not everyone wants a city school.

A gay woman would be fine at Claremont Consortium, but not a gay guy. Ditto Swat. Ditto Amherst. Unless they're an athlete - and there are plenty of gay male athletes.

I disagree about Amherst, since UMass Amherst is next door.

UCLA and NYU have better music programs and scenes than any wasp so point stands…

Go through a roster and find a team with “plenty of gay male athletes”
