A Response To Homosexuality at Rhodes

What exactly are you talking about here? Sexuality is a personal choice; it is part of who you are. It is not something that can change just because it is "fashionable" to be Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual. When you make a statement like this: "lesbianism and being gay is a fashion at Rhodes" you are insulting those people who are Lesbian and Gay. These people go through incredible difficulties in their home, work and public environment because of who they are. They feel safe to come "out" at Rhodes because this campus provides a safe and understanding environment. A society like OutRhodes aims to make lesbian, gay, bisexuals and transgendered (LGBT) people on campus feel like they can be themselves. The society exists to stop people ostracising LGBT’s and not to ostracise straight people. I can’t possibly see how straight people can feel ostracised when we live in a hetero-normative society.
