I think it would be better to leave this decision up to the student and their families, regardless of financial status. That approach is most fair, I think.

This policy is the same across many schools that provide dorms for students. But it could always be worse. The University of Chicago has the same thing, only it has no exemption for married students or those over 20. I haven't dug into their policy, but according to the website, its for ALL first year students - no exceptions.

The issue wouldn't affect me as I am over 20. But I am curious, since I am also gay, if I were to be married to my boyfriend and under 20, I wonder how that would impact my living arrangements. I think it would be interesting to see how that would play out.

In this case, the person in question was a male who transitioned to being a female. A cross dresser is just that. Two separate labels that apply to two separate kinds of people.

The word queer has gone through a process of amelioration lately, that is its once negative connotation has been reclaimed by the people who are a subject of it.

And in answer to your question: No, I would not have an issue sharing a dorm room with a queer person. Thats probably not surprising, considering that I am a queer myself.

"We all know the protesters were conservative operatives only there to make liberals look bad."

I'm the person who organized the event, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that this statements is 110% patently false.

"This story feels like one big Sarah Palin love fest. Thanks for providing decent and equal coverage of those who "protested." It pains me to think that there are people out there who think she's intelligent enough to be president of this country."

For the most part, the media did its best to ignore us and present the illusion of a state where everyone loves her. Moreover, they tried to give her a rockstar welcome. The music playing on the loudspeakers was part of creating that atmosphere. Which is why we brought Hunter in with his Jeep and sound system to try and drown out the propaganda. You should see some of the quotes I am snipping out of the coverage as to why people think Palin ought to be president. Its really funny.
