The LGBTQ Thread

[dml]

of course the one i need info on (fordham) isn't on there. i mean, it's in nyc and i'm not going to be living on campus etc., so there's probably not much to worry about professionally, and they have openly gay faculty and an lgbt law student org. although, if anybody has any experience to share, i'd love to hear it.

if they have openly gay faculty and an lgbt group, you'll be fine. It's not like it's in the middle of the south, or even out in the styx of middle america.

you're right, sheltron, and i knew all that stuff... i just got nervous when i realized what i was setting myself up as a part of.

[sheltron5000]

I know what you mean. Notre Dame kept sending me stuff and I kept thinking... you don't really want me there... but nice try!

I'm an URM lesbian with a 2.65. Out of school for 4 years. Took the LSAT last month and waiting for my score. Any advice for LGBT-friendly regions in regards to lower T1 or T2/T3 schools?

What are some LGBT friendly lower tier schools.. specifically for someone with a 149? Also, prefer part time. I've been going to undergrad in mississippi studying human rights.. I can't do the south for 3-4 more years.

Any big city in the Northeast or Northwest. Maybe Northeastern or Lewis and Clark or someplace like that.

I just wanted to update & say that I'm going to Cooley- Ann Arbor. I know, I know.. Cooley.. lol. But it works for me & its an option for most people. Good luck!

Good luck I am sure Cooley is not that bad, but I imagine Lansing, Michigan would not be the most LGBT friendly place in the world.  I have never been to Michigan though so maybe it is.  With your numbers you might be able to into Golden Gate, which is in San Francisco. I do not think there is a more LGBT friendly place in the world. I would say about 40% of my class is gay and there a million organizations at school for it. There are also a lot of firms that do LGBT work that recruit from my school if your into that it is a good place to be.   Well just something to consider if you are a LGBT law student good luck whatever you decide.
