My husband and I are noticing that some hotels, B & B’s and restaurants are calling themselves gay friendly. When we see that they consider themselves that, we don’t buy.
Right here in Sarasota no less. It's no wonder visiting that campus is like stumbling into a time warp. Talk about a 60's revival....
I’m very sorry to see St. Johns MD on the list. It’s an excellent, and a beautiful, school.
Hillary Rhodham Clinton...
Lotsa LUGS at those places too I’d bet.
I noticed that almost all of the former “seven sisters” were high on the list. Maybe only a gay male would want to attend there, and they always attracted more than their share of lesbians.
Not only that, re: Hillsdale, that part of Michigan is quite beautiful and the people are great too, very middle America.
We were seriously considering it, but my daughter decided she was heading the science route.
My alma mater, Vassar College, didn’t make the list, probably because by now it is officially androgynous. :-)
My school? The Harvey Mudd College of Hard Fart Knocks.
What’th it to you?
xsmommy, you’ll be pleased to see #8 on this list.
Make that ugly rich skanks.

I’m somewhat surprised to see that the Evergreen State College (Rachel Corrie’s alma mater) didn’t make the list.
LOL!
Bryn Mawr has been that way for years.
Well, you had to know that “Mount Holyoke” would be high on the list....
It's the Olympia branch of Reed College..
