Seeking gay roommate
Gay and nervous about having a roommate. Advice?
CloudStudent1
HI all,
I’m moving out in the fall and into a dorm. The thing is, I’ve only lived as an only minor. Not to speak I haven’t had sleepovers or overnight summer camps, but I’ve never lived with someone else like a roommate for an extended period of hour. 7 days max, and only when I was younger. The other thing is that I’ve recently come out as Gay. I’m absolutely terrified of having a roommate and/or making them uncomfortable about me being LGBTQ. I really want to do the university experience with a dorm and roommate and such… I just hope they’re not homophobic. Has anyone else out there been in a similar situation? I’ve dealt with homophobia in the past on a smaller scale. I’m really looking forward to my college life but I also totally grasp that there are people out there that may be uncomfortable with me being LGBTQ.
Do I openly disclose that I’m gay from the start? I feel like I should?
Would love counsel on this as this is one of the many reasons I didn’t do campus housing as soon as I started college.
Why you should question me to be your roommate!
Finding an apartment to rent or room to rent in New York City is one of the most time consuming and often aggravating processes in the world. I?ve been going through all the possible websites to find a room to rent or apartment and decided I?d take my search one step farther. I?ve decided to permit the room find me! As one of my favorite women ever, Whitney Houston, said, Step by Step. I am looking for an apartment or room to rent and I specifically want it to be in Astoria.
I?d make a good roommate. Why? Well, let?s see.
I have a steady profession so you know I?ll make my rent. My credit score is tall (trust me I checked it today). I?m queer , let?s just put that out there! Who doesn?t want a gay roommate? It?s like having a real life floor length mirror that talks assist and will never permit you walk out of the apartment in the wrong shoes. I?ll probably spend 3 ? 5 days a week away, so you get a roommate while almost living alone. Talk about a quiet roommate right?

Finding Your Perfect Queer Roommate: A Guide to LGBTQ+ Co-Living
For many people, living in community with other LGBTQ+ folks is vital. Living in a queer abode with a sense of guard, community, and shared culture can really make or break how it feels to live at home - especially if you just moved somewhere new. But how do you go about finding local queer roommates to live with? We've put together some fool-proof tips on how to safely find queer people to cohabitate with, whether or not you have an established local queer network.
I've moved to several new cities over the last several years, and whenever I live with queer roommates, even if we aren't near, I always feel safer to be myself at home. There's just a mutual acceptance and understanding that's really important to me.
