Gay-Friendly Catholic Colleges & Universities
Below is a partial list of known "gay-friendly" colleges; that is, those Catholic colleges that have some type of gay and lesbian student group, support group, ally group, etc. Thank you for helping us to add to this growing list! If you are aware of a college that is known as welcoming to gay and lesbian people, please let us know. Tell us if this welcome is because of a club, support services, participation in gay community events, or simply because of the friendliness of the faculty and staff.
