71.4% of Oberlin college is "LGBTQ." How is that possible?

I went to a bar in NYC called the Fairytale Lounge. As luck would have it I was there for gerbil stuffing night. I hope the frats at Oberlin entertain their pledges with this activity.

Did you have fun?

Seems like those that mention these types of activities usually indulge.

Let's get something straight. Okay bad choice of words.

But back in 2004 the school that I taught at posted pamphlets about homosexuality that students could grab if they felt like it. They were titled 1 out 10 students are gay. Well think about it, that means that most classrooms of 30 have three gay people. Yet in the ten years I taught at that school I seldom suspected anyone was gay.

Allowing the gay marriage changed all that as many of us predicted. Now we have the Trans movement. Consider Abortion and No-Fault Divorce. All of these things led to changes in how sex was viewed. It's now just for the sake of adults having fun.

We have 1% of the world telling the other 99% that what is normal is wrong and you ought to be put in jail if you even speak about it.

Sign me as Jed Clampett and yes, I am against swearing and cussing as well.

The fact that even needs to be mentioned is SCARY.

This sounds like "I know a ton of people who were asked directions by a pair of pleasant strangers who thanked him profusely and only later seeing them on TV realised it had been Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama"

I live about an hour from Oberlin and this does not surprise me. It is the weirdest strangest crunchiest city I've personally ever been to and that includes yellow springs.

What a great question for a track and field website. Just goes to show American right wingers zealots have a lot to do with this website! Anything that will get their bigoted base stirred up!

Translation: It's nice.

Interestingly, 91.2% of the Proud Boys are also Feds.

It’s just page views for those clown ass idiot BroJos. They have zero care or concern about bad it makes them look.

Howard needs more diversity

I had a grand time! The gerbil.....not so much.

Perhaps because people feel more comfortable around people like themselves.
Have you been to the suburbs lately? They're 99% white; do you complain about that, too?

Is it not relevant to college running?

so many liberal white girls at those schools? me thinks.

It depends on the suburb.

I would say that mine is probably 20% Asian, 20% Indian, 10% Black, 40% Jewish, and 10% White.

I guess most would consider Jews to be “white” but as a Jew myself I can tell you that is as much a culture as it is a religion - maybe even more so. Even so, the area that I live in would be at least 1/2 of what many would consider to be minorities.

99% white is not accurate for most suburbs in the US.

I was in school around that time, and didn't know of any gay people in my school. Trans was unthinkable. Turns out that not only am I trans, I wasn't even the only trans person in my (small) group of friends, and that I knew several other people who were gay or bi. If we were 20 years younger we'd be figuring it out now and idiots like you would be spouting off about how we were "social contagion". Nope. We were always there.

Imagine being a minority.
The horror.

I'm honestly really curious and want to confirm -- does this suburb have an Oakton street running through it's "downtown"?
