After Thomas Coen said Wesleyan was “the most accepting school” of alternative lifestyles [Update: I put these words in his mouth. He was, however, hyping up Wesleyan.], I did some research to put his alma mater to the test. I knew that the Connecticut school was a bastion of tolerance and political correctness from my friends there who told me they write essays with gender-neutral pronouns. Campus Progress’ resident Wesleyan grads, Thomas and Ben Adler, reinforced that image by unflinchingly rattling off an “endless acronym” of sexually dissonant identities: “LGBTTQQFAGIPBDSM, etc.,” which stands for Lesbian, Gay , Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Flexual, Asexual, Genderqueer, Intersex, Polyamourous, BDSM (bondage/ disciple, dominance/ submission, sadism/ masochism), and everything we might have forgotten.
But is Wesleyan really the most gay-friendly school in the country? According to the Princeton Review, it’s the sixteenth.
