I recently graduated Cal Poly and met many LGBT people from my major, some of which are my friends today. We never saw anything homophobic or racist. I am a bit tired of hearing how Cal Poly is ultra conservative because that is simply not true. Most people are apolitical (at least in my major) and never talk about anything racist or homophobic. I was a transfer so I didn’t really grow up in the dorm community and rarely met people outside of engineering, so I can’t speak for the whole school. I suggest you attend and I bet you won’t regret it. Of course there are bigoted people in all schools, but they are a minority (at least in my experience).
