While he came from a conservative Christian family, his views on homosexuality changed after he roomed with two gay Gordon students his sophomore year. That year he and his fellow co-chair of the campus Amnesty International group organized a Day of Silence event to raise awareness about the silencing of LGBT students on campus. In order to get approval for the event from the administration he said the group had to make clear that it was protesting anti-gay violence, not endorsing homosexuality. Alexander said the College Democrats demanded they remove references to transgender people before they would agree to co-sponsor the event.
