I am applying to medical school in the next cycle. I am in a long-term relationship and want to narrow down on schools/locations that would be gay friendly and accepting (and yes of course I am looking at other factors as well).
I am coming from a very liberal city in the north east, have lots of friends who are very close and supportive (very unsupportive family though). I am in a same-sex relationship but basically live a very "straight" life. I don't really do Pride things etc, I'm pretty much your "average" person only gay. So I don't need to have a school that runs a pride parade through campus, but I want an environment that is open/progressive/accepting.
Where I live now I am used to talking about my partner at work/school; we attend events together, noone cares, noone bats an eye. I have never once heard a negative comment. All in all I absolutely do not feel any different than anyone else I know. I would like to find a place that is the same.
