clipped from uweekly.com Out of the closet, out of campus? By Melissa Eisenberg Columbus, Ohio has a reputation for having one of the highest homosexual populations in the country. Such characterization is especially evident in The Short North, with many clubs and businesses supporting the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. However, less than a mile away, The Ohio State University camps may not hold the same reputation. Mere exposure to the GLBT community could be changing the minds of many straight OSU students, however. "[In the Short North] two straight guys could look across the street and see two gay guys holding hands. After ten times seeing this, it becomes no big deal," said Terry Penrod, board member of The Human Rights Campaign and former OSU student. "Just the fact that we have a Short North helps people bridge gaps between the gay and straight community," Penrod added.
