maybe it’s because it’s an art school, which carries with it a certain queer cachet, but I’ve had nothing but a positive experience in college so far. Most of my friends and classmates are gay, or at the very least gay friendly, and though we don’t really have any clubs (there is one, but it sucks) focused on gay issues, I don’t really feel like it’s necessary. In high school, our gay/straight group was the only place I felt safe enough to speak my mind, but in college, I have plenty of people who I can talk to and who understand what I went through and am going through now. My classmates, though not all gay, just accept me for who I am, and any mention of my boyfriend, going to a ‘gay’ club, or anything queer-related doesn’t inspire disgust, laughter, or surprise, it’s just ‘what I did this past weekend.’ Being in the south, though, there are the occassional devoutly religious, usually southern baptist or mormon, type people in my classes who take offense. In my english class last quarter I did a presentation on Paul Cadmus, with pics of his work, and a couple of the bible thumping bitches asked to be excused, I guess I offended them. My english teacher, though, ate it up, and my other classmates liked my presentation. so needless to say, being gay at this school has been a very positive experience. I feel loved and supported by my peers, and think the school works towards our interests. so if you’re gay and looking for a good art school to go to after high school, check out the savannah college of art and design.
