Queer Applicants

[RNadine21]

Yea, my sexual orientation never came up in my applications just because it's not relevant to my field. I am however lucky in that my new city has a growing GLBT community and my school is actually starting a group for graduate students I think I've only brought it up so far with the girl I'll be rooming with, just because I wanted to make sure I can be myself in my home.

... plus I'd have to propose in order for her to be my fiance... not to mention the complications/impossibility of being a gay, bi-national married couple in the US.

It's not that impossible-- honest! My wife and I are in that boat-- she's American, I'm Trinidadian, and we're married! It helps, though, that I have US permanent residency.
