re: What to do: college roommate is gay

Well, that gay dude will probably get to know more hot chicks than your son could imagine. So that's a plus.

I've never gone wrong with having a gay friend or two, as far as that goes.

That being said, if he's not comfortable, it's understandable. If that dude is a drama queen, he's not gonna like it at all. If he's just a regular arse gay dude, it won't be so bad.

Honestly, you're the one paying for his school, and it's his first year, if he seems discombobulated, find him a new roommate. You gotta do what's best for your kid, if it's a distraction, and is really going to upset HIS apple cart, not yours, his. Then move him somewhere else.

If he's cool with it, let him live his life. That's what college is about.
