Seems like I'll be joining NLUJ. While I'm given to understand academics and placements are decent, I had a question. As a bisexual male- what is the environment like there? Is it LGBT friendly, or socially conservative. I'd be glad if anyone could shed light on this.
If males and females are allotted separate hostels because of multiple reasons, LGBTQAI+ people should be given separate places to stay too.
If a female says she doesnβt feel comfortable in the presence of a random male near their room because of the risk of being sexualised/objectified etc., straight males could also take up the same argument when it comes to gay/bi people in their hostels. Even I would think twice before roaming shirtless on the hostel floor if there was a gay person in the vicinity. So that notion of a safe space would be moderately affected, if not completely shattered.
To answer your question, NLUJ (pronounced as βanal-ew Jβ) obviously doesnβt give separate hostels to LGBTQAI+ people. So itβs neither straight-friendly nor LGBTQAI+ friendly.
