[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks so much.  
She's politically liberal but she's not artsy or "alternative" (as we would say back in my day.)

She's a very mainstream and I would say preppy kid by interests and vibe but really wants a diverse college. Just a regular mix of kids from different races, cultures, orientations, walks of life, interests which seems to be a little hard to find outside of state schools. [/quote]

So this suggests that the LGBTQ concerns of others here are overblown.  Nearly all diverse smaller privates are LGBTQ friendly.  It comes with the territory, which makes sense because the kids who want a diverse setting care a lot less about this than some parents.[/quote]

Brown is 40% LGBTQ. Not overblown. [/quote]

For the millionth time on here, that poll was conducted outside of one dining hall and was voluntary participation. Some answered questions in jest. Brown is definitely LGBTQ friendly, but it is not 40%. It’s not that different than any other elite school in make-up, the top schools are extremely similar in student body.  [/quote]

DP. What puts me off about some of these schools with extremely high LGBTQ self reporting is that most of those are females who identify as “nonbinary” and it’s basically a bogus thing most of them will grow out of at some point, especially once the enter the real world and experience real sexism and misogyny because they are female, regardless of how they identify.
It’s hard for me to take someone seriously when they believe in something so fake.[/quote]

It isn’t just Brown, this is just the generational trend going on.  It seems like every college has a very high percentage of kids that identify as something other than straight.  High schools and middle school too for that matter.  It’s the new normal. [/quote]
