Don’t Ask, Go to Yale

The Yale Daily News reports on the story of Katie Mitchell, a gay woman who left West Point in protest of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and transferred to Yale.
At the academy, Miller discovered other LGBT cadets living in a covert social scene. She played on the rugby team and during matches met a few lesbians from other schools — including Yale….
Well, they don’t call it the gay Ivy for nothing.
This is a bit like not letting military recruiters on campus, but in reverse—they may not be able to recruit from Yale, but Yale will take their recruits away from them….

I find this post troubling. It seems to be constructed in order to lead up to the final conceit. But in order to do so, it has to buy in (however ironically) to stereotypes about various campuses.

Not to mention the whole thing about lesbians and rugby!
No, seriously, Yale is a gay-friendly place. More power to it. Certainly broadened my mind a lot while I was there.
