How to navigate relationship with gay roommate?
Dear The Heterosexual Roommate,
It's important to start off by reminding yourself that your roommate is the same person now that he was when you first met him. The fact that your roommate is gay needn't change your relationship as roommates or friends. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) people live with, and are friends with, people of many different identities. Your roommate's sexual orientation is probably just one of the ways in which he is different from you, and it sounds as though you're an open-minded person who appreciates the differences among friends.
It isn't clear from your question whether your roommate told you himself that he’s gay, or whether you heard about it from others.

However, you won’t understand this unless you have a conversation with him, at which point, he may or may not choose to answer those questions, which is his right. On the other hand, if you learned that your roomm

<p>so, what do most colleges do with us gay students, any way? i know at colby, where some of my friends move they usually provide gay freshmen straight roommates (ones that aren’t freaked out by gayness, i hope). is that how it works everywhere? i’m not even sure i’d want to room with another gay kid? it would kind of suck if you ended up being romantically interested- i don’t think being roommates first year of college would be a good way to make things work out in a relationship. i hear that it’s best to endeavor not to room with people you want to date. how does the roommate situation serve out usually in cases like this?</p>

<p>How about you request to be rommed with the Other side sex. this way there is 0% chance of this happening.</p>

<p>Is it really necessary for the housing people to know sexual orientation?</p>
<p>I understand your concern about ending up being romantically interested, but does sexual orientation really compete that big a factor in having to live

<p>This sounds very thin and stupid, but if I was back in college, I would rather room with someone who was in a wheelchair, because that would represent a bigger room.</p>

<p>Eireann…what a valid signal you make! </p>
<p>My D. has a very good male friend who is gay and she says she can handle it. </p>
<p>I will let you all know how it goes.</p>

<p>Angst, 3 of my 4 Ds are very much into theatre and, as a result, have many gay friends, both girls and boys. I can assure you that your D’s roommate is no more interested in your D than your D is in her. Why people include this common misconception, I’ll never verb. </p>
<p>I’d have to echo the comment that I’d rather one of my children room with a gay roommate than with someone so intolerant and homophobic that they feel the desire to move out when they spot that one of their roommates is gay. </p>
<p>Lastly, I would ask that you reconsider how yo
