What kind of response do you expect from THAT last name?

[MarineBrat]

"My roommate is gay" in and of itself isn't a valid reason to switch in advance, any more than, 'my roommate is Asian' would be."

Bulls***!

[Jewbacca]

He should have said his roomate was a Republican, Christian, or Jew and he couldn’t put up with his lack of sensitivity.

[SJSAMPLE]

No big deal.
No need to get all butt-hurt about it.

[exist]

Wait. How do they find so many gay people? Are there gay people applying for this or...? Do they get a scholarship for this? How do they know they’re gay in the first place? Leather mask?

[soycd]

It could be those surprise packages in the middle of the night that are alarming.

[trisham]

I’m surprised that the college would expose itself to the possible legal consequences that may result from this policy.

[saganite]

I wonder what the response would have been if a gay student complained about being roomed with a straight guy and expressed fears about being ridiculed or discriminated against? I’m sure the answer would have been different.

[mbarker12474]

The college would be hit with a lawsuit. The objecting roomate will be charged with a hate crime.

The offended homosexual will seek counseling and medical attention for the trauma caused by the heterosexual roomate.

Trauma => crime.

Sexual prefence => hate crime

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Creating privileged classes of approved victims. You can’t ever complain about them, but they can complain about you, and get you thrown in jail for your thoughts.

I think “Dickinson” is exactly what the parent is concerned about!

[editor-surveyor]

Has there ever been an advice columnist that wasn’t in more need of advice than their writers?

[Pilated]

What a bunch of crap. I could never force someone to accept a gay roommate. It’s a free choice country. I would take my money to a different school. I am sick of being forced to accept a sexual life style I cannot condone.

[real saxophonist]

Imagine being just out of the Marines, and having as a roommate the Vice President of College Democrats.

That was my situation at the University of Northern Colorado, circa 1992.

I think a gay guy would have been an improvement.

[Jim from C-Town]

In all reality the person who is rooming with the Homosexual has every right to demand to be moved from the room and given either a new room mate or a single room. In a free society a person has the right to socialize with whomever they want. They have the right to not live with someone, as much as they have the right to live with whom they want.

If the person who is paying for housing doesn't want to live with a black person, a Hispanic person, or a homosexual they have every right to not live with them. This is the entire premise and reason for the existence of Suburbs.

[Shimmer1]

You can always count on this woman to give the proper, PC, liberal answer. Always. She makes me sick.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Maybe the straight guy should invite his skinhead study group to hang out with him in his room.

Let's see how tolerant his roomate is.

[chesley]

It seems to me that ANY reason would be acceptable for who you want to live with. After all, who are they to enforce their morality (multiculturalism) on others?? Besides, the worst that could happen is someone gets their feelings hurt. happens to me all the time, but I don’t make a federal case out of it.

By the way, I’m considering changing my tagline. What do you think of “Socialism-morality for people that don’t have any”??

[CSM]

Well then, we should force a young college co-ed to room with a male. Why not? A homosexual claims to be naturally attracted to the same sex, why not force young women to be ogled by male roomates.

[Emmett McCarthy]

OK - so after the “Two week trial period” and the guy’s still queer, they’ll change things? Just spend that two weeks showing the guy how he doesn’t have to be queer, that he can change if he really wants to. How would that work out?
