EMU: Gay-Friendly

By

The Eastern Echo, Eastern Michigan University’s student publication, reports on student reaction following Newsweek magazine’s ranking of EMU as one of the nation’s top gay-friendly universities, based on an index by the nonprofit Campus Pride. EMU ranked 18th, while the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus ranked 25th. The article quotes Andre Moses, a member of Queer Unity for Eastern Students (QUEST): “When I walk around campus every day, there are people missing limbs, or wearing no shoes, or in a wheelchair, and no one seems to notice. It seems so easy to just be yourself and express who you are; no one seems to care.” [Source]
