His stand up is great.

No.
Humor snobs are stupid.

Ok good. The OT lounge was listing off comedians I had never heard of as better than Hart. Made me doubt myself

Never listen to a word the OT Lounge says. Ever

You mean the place where like 90% of the posters say they wouldn't bang Kate Upton if the opportunity presented itself?

Tell them you must have another dorm room. They are sharing a SMALL,space he must be able to deal with the person he lives with. Or pony up and get him an apartment. If he is on a sports team it won't matter about living in the dorm and meeting people

That'd be the place
My God, it's like the circus set up there, partied too hard, and left only the monkeys and clowns behind when it departed town

Yo could always try and get your son into a different place in the same complex. I've gone through that. PITA but I was happier in the end.

Tell him the guy isn't going to try and rape him.

His first thing was, "Dad I don't want to walk in to dudes making out or gay sex."
Even left-leaning straight guys like him don't want to see that.
I wouldn't want to walk in and see a guy and girl making out or having sex either.
Tell your son to quit being a homophobe.

1. Are you sure the guy isn't just messing with your son. Or someone isn't messing with him? Since you said the school is in the Midwest, I could see someone playing a joke on the "Alabama kid" to see if he'll freak out at this.
2. If it is true and your son is uncomfortable with it, and you can afford it, let him move into a place by himself and tell his roommate that he wants to live alone to be sure he can focus on studies when he's not with the team.
Freshman year is a delicate time. No reason for him to be uncomfortable and get off to a rough start just because people think he should "get over it" and room with a guy that he has no commonalities with. He's uncomfortable? Then move. Why is it anyone else's concern why he was uncomfortable?

I would ask for a room change.

This is a fricking disgrace. I don't really get involved with the gay rights / abortion / etc. etc. conversations because I really don't care what people do. My only feelings are that I don't want government funding supporting the opening of an abortion clinic and the like.
The people in here that are trying to make the OP or his son look like a bad person or "close minded" (I love that one), for not wanting to live with a homosexual are ridiculous. If your son wants out, don't even question him. Get him another room.
The only correct answer is below.

Meh, I hate the holier than thou attitude in here. You can be cool with gay people and not want to live with one.
I don't see what is wrong with that.

All of this.

I think your son and his roommate are gonna have a fabulous time together... Late night study crams complete with Ben and Jerry's, Sunday Sex and the City binges , vent sessions complete with a magnum of cheap red wine, the list goes on and on.

Really? What if he was uncomfortable because the roommate was black? That would be venturing dangerously back towards segregation.
As for the OP, tell your homophobic son two things:
First, life is not always going to cater to his likes and dislikes and one of the best skills he will ever learn is to be able to make the best of an uncomfortable situation.
Second, gay men attract straight women like an Alabama Wal-Mart attracks rednecks. Women always want what the can't have, and a gay man provides connection but leaves them hanging for the D. If your son becomes his wingman, he could be in a position to slay loads of poon.

Why even go there? That's not at all what this is about.

He is going to college, i don't think he is going to see a shortage of young women for about 4 years.
