[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An article from a BC alum that describes how BC remains a deeply homophobic institution:

Do you have some kind of alert on your computer that buzzes every time the internet mentions Boston College?  So strange that you continue to assail a school that you know so little about.  [/quote]

I went to BC for grad school, and I lived on campus as an RA during that time.  My son also later attended BC for his undergrad.

There were multiple grad and undergrad LGBTQ students who were out, comfortable, and supported by the community during my time and my son's time there.  It actually seemed a fairly liberal environment.  I met one of my best friends, a gay male, on campus at BC, and he was as out as it is possible to be.  He had tons of friends and neither he nor I ever heard any criticism about this.  Our "dorm priest", Father Marty, was also very inclusive and supportive.

There was a certain area in O'Neill library that was a designated "hookup spot" for gay male students looking to meet someone for a NSA encounter.  This wasn't rumor.  I knew at least three BC guys who used it.

BC is not a conservative campus overall, in any case.
