Top ‘LGBT Friendly’ Colleges Offer 'Gender-Free' Bathrooms, ‘Queer Studies’ Minor August 22, 2013 - 1:17 PM By Melanie Hunter

(CNSNews.com) – Campus Pride, a gay rights advocacy group, released its annual list of the “Top 25 LGBT Friendly Colleges and Universities” on Tuesday, which includes schools with gender-neutral bathrooms and a minor in “queer studies.”

The top 25 schools had to achieve five stars in overall, sexual orientation, and gender identity/expression categories in order to be listed in the top 25. Each school also had to be 4.5 stars or above in eight LGBT-friendly factor areas.

The final Top 25 had the highest percentage ratings and reflects colleges with student populations from 2500 to over 25,000, both public and private schools.

The University of Oregon is the only institution in the state to offer Queer Studies as a minor in their Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

“Help change the world with your newfound critical thinking skills by promoting respect in the workplace. Aid a city as it institutes its new gay-marriage law. Promote diversity in adoption rights. You’ll be able to create and foster a culturally responsive community wherever you go,” the university said its website.

Macalester College, a private undergraduate liberal arts college in St. Paul, Minn., has what they call “all gender bathrooms” on campus.

“For those whose gender expression is not always recognized or validated, entering gendered restrooms can result in humiliation, harassment, or violence. To recognize the importance of the safety and comfort of everyone in our community, Macalester wants to ensure access to single-stall and/or all-gender restrooms on campus,” the college’s website said.

Didn’t Graham Spanier push for Penn State to make the top ten ‘LGBT Friendly’ colleges? How did that work out again?

LGBTP{for pedophile} friendly.

I wonder what the hiring statistics for their graduates look like.

This reminds me of the liberal arts joke that ends “would you like fries with that?” The ending here is “would you like a condom with that?”

Not a cent more.........

Don't worry. Obama's going on a more-money-from-taxpayers-to-subsidize-queer-colleges tour, beginning tomorrow. He's saying that college is too expensive, so you know what that means: more money from us taxpaying suckers.

[GeronL]

why do even alumni donate money to this?

I'm proud of all my daughters. But my middle daughter did particularly well in high school and got inundated with tons of college recruiting mail.

I asked her how she ever got through so much mail and she told me that she was able to toss about 75% of it in the trash with a simple test: namely, those who promoted these type of courses, Women's Studies and the like.

Another 75% of the remaining 25% disqualified themselves in like manner with just a little bit of on-line research. That left something like 6% of her offers available for further consideration.

Ah, another indication of a college which will have absolutely no standards - moral or intellectual.

Perfect place for the Obamas of this world.

Celebrate perversity!

[wolfman23601]

Would you hire someone with “Queer Studies” on their resume? On the other hand, that will make due diligence efforts a little easier.

Oberlin College is where those to fake-hate crime vandals are from.

Oberlin College is where those two fake-hate crime vandals are from.

[Slyfox]

No urinals or no toilets?

Or is there an appropriate compromise?

[TexasCajun]

Well Isn't That Special!

[Rodentking]

What kind of a career does QUEER STUDIES prepare you for?

[madprof98]

I expect these places will be right on top of Obama’s new college rankings. (Which, of course, will mean lots of federal $$$ to crank out gender-liberated Queer Studies majors to staff the federal bureaucracy.)
