Thanks for the advice. It does help put me at ease. The reason why I asked is because I'm transferring into a phd program from another. I was the only gay person in the department and the only one that was doing work on sexuality (there are others that are doing sexuality, but is predominately about heterosexuality), and it felt weird talking about my project. I'm now going to a bigger mid-western city and hopefully it would be better.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is anyone with experience about coming out in grad school. Is it necessary? Would it have a detrimental effect? Advise would be greatly appreciated.
