They weren't looking to make a political statement or to be pioneers of gender liberation. Each just wanted a familiar, decent roommate rather than a stranger after their original roommates left to study abroad.

That's how Pitzer College sophomores Kayla Eland, female, and Lindon Pronto, male, began sharing a room this semester on Holden Hall's second floor. They are not a couple and neither is gay. They are just compatible roommates in a new, sometimes controversial, dormitory option known as gender-neutral housing that is gaining support at some colleges in California and across the nation....

I found that too. After a month of seeing the same women day after day in their sweat pants and at the vending machine....well...it ain’t exactly the Playboy Mansion.

Sharing a room with a woman you are not dating would be sheer Hell. They never shut up. Sharing an apartment with one was bad enough. At least I could go to my room and read.

What a coincidence all kinds of behaviors are gaining acceptance as we devolve into Babel & Gomorrah.

Yes ... you can see it in the replies here. It's a seduce move to Sodom and Gomorrah. It desensitizes kids to what should be private and reserved for marriage. More damage will be done to our KIDS. Yes, they are KIDS trying to mature as adults. Just imagine what their moral values will be like after this is the “norm”.
