My DD wants LGBTQ+ friendly, but that could look very different from one school to the next.

Anyone able to share some insights here? Also, my DD isn't overly political - so she's not looking for an activist bent, just a community.


If she’s worried about gay or trans men taking over the LGBTQ scene, she should probably go to a women’s college where women lead all activities. Or a very large school where even if they’re a minority within the community, there will still be a large number of lesbians.


There are trans men at HWCs. More trans men than trans women. I have a trans daughter, so it was something I paid attention to everywhere we looked. Not that I care. Just that I was surprised.

The southern Division I colleges are very lesbian friendly. UF and also our community college in town--Santa Fe Community College are very lesbian friendly.

Is Wake that much more conservative these days? Even in my day, it wasn’t awful in this respect

Mine will be at UMass Amherst. Probably one of the many reasons she chose it!
