Gay UT-Austin Student: Officials Told Me No Dorm Visitors Because Im Gay and People are Uncomfortable
A University of Texas-Austin freshman says she was forbid from having visitors at her private all-female dorm because shes gay and that makes people uncomfortable.
John Wright at Outsmart reported that Kaj Baker was told that people at Scottish Rite Dormitory, a private, off-campus facility that provides all-female housing to UT students, were uncomfortable that she and her girlfriend were studying together, brushing their teeth together in the bathroom, and wearing pajamas.
