A lot of campuses have off-campus housing that has also been shut down. 50% of students live on-campus at my school. The rest live in apartments the university owns/has contracts with, or at home nearby. That’s still thousands of people moved home.

Thank you. So have all these students been evicted? Have those without families to stay with been made homeless?

Berkley insist that nobody will be forced out of campus accommodation. Are they lying?pic.twitter.com/M8vV00kaQl

yeah you won't be forced out. Most campuses will tell you that. you can live there until the semester ends. but a lot of times, you won't get a refund on your housing, and you won't be able to use your meal plan, and you won't have access to your actual classroom.

That's the same in the UK and it sucks. But surely it's a better deal than returning to a genuinely unsafe home with abusive parents?

You're making it a black and white issue, like the only way someone could be worried about their parents reaction to their coming out is if they've already been physically assaulted by them (so you can then argue they should've already gone to the police)

Of course, Lily is an "ROGD mom", so she has a deep emotional investment in this narrative - she needs to believe that the vast majority of all parents are fundamentally decent and should not be questioned by meddling outsiders And the exceptions are obvious monsters

Like how hard is it to accept that even if I know for an absolute certainty my parents will never physically attack me or even kick me out of the house and make me homeless I may just NOT WANT to come out as queer or trans to them when I'm not ready

Make your mind up Arthur. Either you're the same age as me or you're a student living at home. Get your story right. You seem so disturbed and confused by this article that I'm beginning to wonder if I should block you for your own sake.

It's a rhetorical "I", Lily, it's the kind of thing you come across in college papers
