"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A gigantic rainbow flag adorns one wall in Haiden Baier's new college dorm room, alongside a few photos, illustrations and the lyrics to a Fall Out Boy song. In past years, the University of North Florida junior said he would usually wait a few weeks to hang it up."

Mixed feelings about this. I'm sure it feels much safer for the students there.

OTOH, I don't want us ghettoized. I think society has an obligation to accept us as we are, and when we segregate ourselves, we relieve them of that obligation.
