9 Things Freshman Orientation Doesn't Tell You About Queer People

College can be tough, but being a queer student doesn't have to be.

Congratulations! You are a high school graduate and will now move on to the awesomeness that is college. One of the best parts about college is meeting people who may not be exactly like you. There's also a chance you might have a classmate, teammate or fellow dorm-mate that could be queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans.

Navigating campus as a queer person can sometimes be difficult, too, from expressing your sexual or gender identity to telling others you identify as LGBTQ

But whether you're straight, cisgender or somewhere along the queer spectrum, here are some do's and don'ts regarding sexual orientation and gender that were probably left out of freshman orientation.
