Gay club society, I wasn’t directly confronted by so much as i are right here

A: Discover a strand men and women doing, and you can eg I said, I don’t want to make use of labels and anything for privacy, but there clearly was a strand of people who was basically as much as throughout the my university point in time who were out however, did not identify having GSSA. And so there is a complete blast of away gays just who was in fact good with that as well as try and you may essentially told you, ‘I’m not an excellent misfit, and thus I’m going to be the new frat son otherwise I’m going to be the latest sorority woman or whatever,’ so i suppose I became aware of you to definitely a little bit, however they almost featured sort of tokenistic or mascot-want to me.
