Dating on the Farm - Stanford's Gay and Lesbian Alumni (GALA) are up in arms over an article in Stanford's alumni magazine about dating habits on campus. While it does seem like a fairly blantant oversight to leave out gays (the article specifically calls out the fact that it's based on a survey of heterosexual students), I just can't get that excited over it. I think this issue might loom larger for gay alumni than for gay undergrads, as the alums want to hear that conditions are better for gay students today than when they attended. I'm not even sure that undergrads ever read Stanford magazine. I know I only started receiving it after graduation. I did, however, read the Stanford Daily regularly. And far from advocating traditional dating stereotypes, the Daily makes a case for polyamory. Wonder where GALA weighs in on this one?
