Princeton Review lists University of Dallas as "LGBT Unfriendly"
Right wing Texans are ecstatic that one of their schools made the top 10 list of being most regressive in the country. We really need to start referring to the baggers as the Regressive Party.

The Princeton Review recently released a list of the most gay-unfriendly universities in the nation, and the University of Dallas clocked in at #9. Other Texas schools make appearances on the list of 20 schools--Texas A&M University at #10 and Southern Methodist University at #12. The ranking comes from surveys in which students were asked: "Do students, faculty, and administrators at your college treat all persons equally regardless of their sexual orientations and gender identify/expression?"

1. Texas school?
With all due respect to the esteemed Prof. Galbraith, those two words are becoming an oxymoron.

5. "Where's the list?"
I always use Google. I'd search top lgbt unfriendly & princeton review, if you want to see the list.
glueamerica is a good LGBT website, you might throw that search term in there.

9. Not sure if they asked all of them or just Provo
I would think any BYU campus would be pretty bad for gays.

12. hi!
"princeton review unfriendly lgbt glueamerica" is the search words I suggested, and the whole list of 20 most friendly, and unfriendly for LGBTers is on the first link.

I thought it was a good point by the writer of the article to say, "The most surprising thing for me is the exclusion of Jerry Falwell's Liberty University and South Carolina's Bob Jones University from the list of LGBT-unfriendly colleges. Perhaps they didn't participate." That's probably why they weren't included, but they certainly are unfriendly, but perhaps it was just obvious so no need to say it.

13. you are a better googler than I
I was able to get the princeton review site as an early link but it was password protected so it was useless. to find an article that had a full list took 3 pages.
