The Gayest Thing About America’s Gay Friendliest School University of Oregon?

A college education will teach you that listicles are the future of journalism, so I appreciate the Campus Pride Climate Index’s ranking of America’s institutions of higher learning for their LGBT-friendliness. And the winner is?

Among 230 universities ranked, the University of Oregon comes out on top, along with 18 other schools that achieved a five-star ranking. Which is funny, because when you Google “University of Oregon gay,” the first image to pop up is of track star Tyson Gay, who went to the University of Oregon, and always clogs up my “gay” search results.

Mr. Gay is, I believe, straight.
