By Sydney Kaloustian, Emily Corey, and Lily Reece. This video captures the history of the queer community at Hampden-Sydney College, a historically all-male, white, conservative institution in the heart of Virginia.
I'm a bi alum. I had a very apparent boyfriend while there. It was very much so not a good place to be queer. I was there 2016-2020 and the trump administration made it much worse. The faculty were wonderful and I had a great education, but would not recommend it for anyone who is not a straight cis dude bro.
