Men, Women In Same Dorm Rooms

[quote name='Brigid' post='1493381' date='Apr 6 2008, 01:51 AM']really? huh. I don't think I could room with ANY guy - gay or straight. I mean, gay guys are still guys.[/quote]

I'm not biased against lesbians in general, but, as in another thread I spoke about the homosexual's and the rights society gives them to make unwanted advances.

I would never let my child go to any university if they were assigned to a dorm room with the opposite sex.

I don't know if I agree or not about co-ed dorms. I do have problems with mixed living like roommates of different genders or suitemates of different genders.

I think that gays and lesbians should not room with their gender though...even if you think that homosexuality is wrong, it is not going to change them and I think that it will cause in the very least temptation for them.

I went to a conservative orthodox Catholic college with the unthinkably backwards and repressed policy of single-sex dorms with no intervisitation allowed by the opposite sex. (While most secular people are shocked at this, that was actually standard policy on almost all college campuses prior to the 1960s).

Once society begins sanctioning pre/extra-marital sex as an absolute right, there's really no limit. Same-sex dorms already have problems of "sexiles" exiled from their dormrooms by roomates having sex, the public sex mentioned, and policy questions regarding assigning "gay" students rooms with other homosexuals.

My college is pretty conservative. Floors are segregated by gender, single gender apartments, and suite houses. Boys aren't supposed to be be on the girl's floor from midnight to noon, and it is enforced, but they don't open doors so its not too hard to have guys later than midnight anyways.
