Controversy Discussion: An Issue About Roommates
Hey all.
As I was reading the paper this morning I stumbled across a heated debate in the advice columns about an issue I've been hearing more and more about in the last few years. A mother had written in and was concerned about her son; he was going to college, living in the dorms and had gotten assigned a gay roommate. The mother was upset because she felt this was equivilent to a boy and a girl rooming together, but the advice column journalist had strongly disagreed, feeling the mother's worry was nothing but prejudice, similar to feeling discomfort about a kid rooming with a person of a different race.
In this case, the son asked for and was assigned a new roommate.
I thought it was an interesting topic and was curious to see where you guys stood.
