OXFORD, MISS. — It may sound surprising, but many colleges in the Deep South are welcoming environments for gay students. Until my freshman year at the University of Mississippi, I never felt free to be myself.

But I thrived in college. I made gay friends, met gay professors, and with the help of an amazing university counselor, I finally became comfortable with being out. .


Move over aggie, there's a new gayest school in the SEC!

Yep, hilarious that a kid growing up gay in the Deep South feels like a person, finally.

Edit to add: good for the kid

Good for Ole Miss. I would hope this would be the case with any university.

I have a friend who was gay in the south. Lot of people judged him and made him feel unsafe and uncomfortable


He was a friend because he committed suicide. Shits not funny baw.

Mizzou needs to respond to maintain its grip on the sjwU title.

Much to the surprise of many t-shirt fans, but most SEC campuses are pretty welcoming of the gay community.
This generation isn't as concerned with who you have sex with as the older generation.

Good for this guy feeling welcomed. God forbid he feels comfortable in his environment.

Glad it's gotten better.

Good friend of my wife (and somewhat of mine) was gay at Ole Miss when we were there and never felt comfortable coming out in Oxford. He did the whole fraternity thing (actually a Pike which makes me lol because they're meat heads) and pretended to date chicks.

He's out now though.

If you can fog a mirror you are accepted at Ole Miss.

Breaking news!

We don't give a frick.

We don't care that your parents think you're an a-hole. We don't care that you like dicks. We don't care that everybody at Ole Miss likes you because you like dicks.

Why are people so proud of being gay? They act like they've won an award. Congrats I guess. Enjoy the dicks.
