Four Texas schools, including two in North Texas, made the Princeton Review’s list of the 20 most homophobic colleges in the nation this year.
The University of Dallas came in at No. 8, Baylor at No. 11, SMU at No. 14 and Texas A&M at No. 15 on the list titled, “Alternative Lifestyles Not an Alternative,” which is part of The Princeton Review’s “The Best 371 Colleges — 2010 Edition.”
It marked the second straight year that SMU was named the 14th most homophobic school in the nation. Baylor was 8th last year and Texas A&M was 12th, while the University of Dallas wasn’t listed in the 2009 edition.
New York University was named the nation’s most gay-friendly school this year, with no Texas schools appearing in the Top 20.
Each of the four Texas schools that made the most homophobic list also appeared on other Top 20 lists. The University of Dallas made the top 20 for “Least Beautiful Campus” and “Most Conservative Students;” Baylor was in the top 20 for “Most Conservative Students” and “Most Religious Students;” SMU was in the top 20 for “Little Race/Class Interaction;” and Texas A&M was in the Top 20 for “Jock Schools” and “Most Conservative Students.”

Man, Texas is getting bombarded with bad publicity lately. Houston needs to hurry up and elect their lesbian mayor so we can have some good news for once.
Texas is getting bombarded? Being gay is not only gross but it’s a sin. Texas is and always will be conservative and value enriched state. Just because ppl tolerate you being gay, doesn’t mean they have to agree with it.
Owell, if you think we’re so gross, why are you reading our blogs and our newspapers? Methinks someone may be on the DL…
Most people I know can not wait for Texas to secede from the USA. Their gov says the state wants to, but we have not seen any signs of action. If Texass left, the mean IQ of America would increase by 1/2 standard deviation and the homicide rate would decrease dramatically. It is truly the sleaze bag of America. In the state with the second largest population and the second largest area, there is only one first class university and one that tries to be. There are no great museums, a second rate orchestra (yes, the Dallas is second rate), and nothing of beauty. Even the Gulf of Mexico is a second rate body of water.
John: I couldn’t agree with you more!!
This is wonderful news. I’m starting at the University of Dallas this fall and am looking forward to a minimum of perversion. Many thanks for passing this news on.
I go to Baylor. I’m gay. It’s tough. I can’t be me. =(
