Hello all! I’m doing some college research at the moment, and Clemson recently came across my radar. Overall, the school looks amazing and has some really good programs for what i’m planning on majoring in, but i’m curious to know what life for LGBTQ+ students is like. I’ve seen a couple of threads from 3-4 years ago with some very mixed takes on safety and acceptance of queer people on campus, and I was curious if as of 2025 the school has improved for LGBTQ+ people.

This will probably get removed- because WinterCharm likes to remove things he doesn't like for some reason - but is anyone else incredibly annoyed with the policing that the mods do around here?

A comment I made in the KAO thread was removed because:

If you don't want google to display your post under a search of "Clemson", it doesn't belong here.

I don't think making fun of a group of people for being fat is a good image for Clemson.

And let's not forget the whole Craig situation a few months back - where WinterCharm deleted the jokes made here and put up a "Let's Be Nice To Craig" thread. Does anyone else think this place doesn't need a mother figure serving as the kindness police and deleting things left and right?

There's tons of reasons they shouldn't be in the pond. It's animal cruelty

TIL Clemson students don't care about fish or animal cruelty.

Edit:

Since a lot of you people don't understand why I and other people actually care about this, here's a short list of why I care.

I used to own fish. I know how sensitive they can be. I know how quickly they can die when you mistreat them (my last group of guppies died suddenly (all within 3 hours) with a bad water change).

I know the water quality of the pond are not that great. I know that really any fish has significant chance of dying from water quality alone. This is not to mention the lack of nutritional food, filtration, or things like cats/birds. This also isn't just a pond, it's a fountain pond. It has filtration. Most goldfish have horrid swimming ability and likely can't out swim the suction of the pump.

The weather of South Carolina isn't great either. The temperature can go from 40 degrees in the morning to 70 degrees in the evening. This can literally kill or shorten the life of most fish you can purchase in a pet store legally. Bettas can't go for more than 24 hours in <68 degree water. Most fish you find in the pet store need atleast 70 degree water, including GoldFish.

These fish will not have a "happy life" just because they have an entire pond vs a tank to swim around in. More space does not mean a happier fish.

People are SOOOOO upset when a dog gets left outside overnight in the summer but don't bat an eye when a pet fish gets put into a new location that they can't possibly survive for their intended life duration. If you are okay with this, you're part of the problem.

That's right.

We're going into lockdown. Any posts or comments made until futher notice will need to be MANUALLY APPROVED by yours truly!

Our new automod system is great for this. So far our ban list has increased by about, 8 people and our warnings have been issued to well over a dozen.

Since people are so upset over football enough to break sitewide rules and attack a STUDENT subreddit who hardly gets into football more than memes, anyone that gets pinged and has a stupid fucking reason to be here is gonna get zapped. Well, what does that mean? Find out OSU fans! It's here, waiting for you!

This is me right now

This is everyone I banned right now

TOODLES!

So I 22 (m) have broken up with my ex (25,m)of three years. I just need someone who able to replace my ex, not dating wise. Just someone to cover the other half of the bills, I prefer if you're a afab person (Assigned Female at brith), since I am a trans man and I rather room with someone who is assigned female at birth, just for my own safty. I just need someone to pay the other half of the bill like rent would be 550 along with any water, electric bills (those depend on how much we use), wifi 60 a month.

I will just stay out of your way most of the time, try to clean here and there. I will keep to my room most of the time. I only have a job at a fast food witch is a 13 minute walk. Where I am at there a catbus that can take you to the university of Clemson, you just have to walk over there.

All I ask is that you have a job already, pay your half and just be trans friendly. Also any other basic roommate stuff.

Edit, okay I saw other post. I have only one bathroom, also there two bed rooms but I am taking up one of them. When my ex leaves, there going to be some furniture, ie a mattress. There no where to do laundry unless you go to a laundromat

Edit 2, I say afab, since I don't want to get hurt and I am not looking to date someone. Not interested in women anyways

I am a 22 trans male, yet the in the closet. I don't want to be out and open since I just don't want to end up dead. I just want to know since it has a been two months, I believe that I been here. I just unsure how people are here when it comes to lgbt people.

Edit: Like, I am asking like will people treat me poorly if I come out. Am I likely to get attack or even killed, that why I mean by how lgbt safe it is. Since I know if your out some people will try to hurt you for it

Dream with me here guys

I'm interested in making a student org geared towards trans people to get together for support, for resources, for a safe place. I want to see if anyone under the trans umbrella (trans, nonbinary, agender, gender-fluid, intersex, etc) would be interested in said club. It would be a safe-space, a group of friends, a support group (not professional), a place for resources. I want to create a space for those alike that may or may not struggle here at Clemson or in general. Message me or find me on instagram @alx.ktl I'm not good with reddit so i might not see a message honestly. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Online for a single week after spring break?

Look, I'm not a fan of the online-only option (I don't think students learn as much through online classes as they do in-person, but I respect that everyone learns differently) but as I safety measure, I think it's necessary.

That being said, IF our students contract COVID-19 while away on spring break, it could take them two weeks before they displayed symptoms. During this time, they're still able to pass it on to others. Why wouldn't we just be proactive and move to online-only for at least two weeks following Spring break?

Also, us moving to online for 1 week after spring break isn't really consistent with the decisions that other universities have made because most others have gone online for the remainder of the semester, extended spring break and/or implemented e-learning for at least two weeks.

I am still very displeased with how they're handling this situation. They have not been transparent with anyone throughout this process which has contributed to our confusion.

The current story being told to police by the brothers and pledges is that this was simply a voluntary weekly "fitness run", and that they went up the sidewalk of the 93 bridge toward Y-beach, then turned around and returned on the other side. This has got to the the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. There was obviously nothing 'voluntary' about this run. It was actually a MANDATORY annual hazing tradition: a 'triathalon' of sorts (actually a run/swim). During said run/swim in the pitch dark of 5:45 am, Tucker somehow jumped off the bridge at an unsafe spot, unlike all of the other pledges, who successfully jumped and safely swam over to Y beach. Sometime shortly thereafter, they DID return to find Tucker's body floating dead in the water, but decided to return, get their story straight (and possibly contact a lawyer) and THEN call the police. High powered attorneys have swooped in on behalf of Sig Ep and have put the fear of God in these boys. You're not going to hear a truthful story out of them. At least a handful of the Sig Ep members there are personally responsible for the negligent behaviors that led up to Tucker's death. Remember that fraternities around here think it is THEIR RIGHT to haze and do this kind of thing. Thus in their eyes, this was a horrible accident, and has since led to big annoyances within the greek community, as all social activities have been suspended.

Y’all really fill the bus up from front to back. There is a hidden technique, where if the first person in line goes to the back of the bus, everyone gets on the bus quicker. I know you’re too busy keeping your neck at a 90 degree angle, so you don’t have to engage with the real world, but have some common sense.

Are there any furries that go to Clemson or are in the Clemson area? I’m a student here and I’ve always wanted to start a club for the school but don’t know if it would be worth it or if there are even any other furs that go here.

She chose Clemson!!!

If you want it that bad you can just go inside and say “I’d like that to go please” and they’ll put it in a bag for you just like in the drive through. Or better yet zaxbys is right there they have a chicken sandwich with pickles and everything now it’s practically indistinguishable

Please sign this petition so we can get President Clements to talk to us. He can help the Hipps family find out what happened to Tucker by cooperating. #JusticeForTucker https://chng.it/gvv46Pkz7g

Burner acc obvi but I'm an incoming freshman who is bi with a heavy preference towards women and I genuinely have no confidence of finding gay people to befriend or even date (I want a gf so bad 😭) so if you're also an incoming freshmen pls dm I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask

Hello, I’m a junior at clemson and I’m looking to transfer to a different school because I really don’t enjoy it here and I tried to stick it out for my education, but it’s really taking a toll on the value of my life. I’m wondering if anybody has any advice or experience because my counselor has not been helpful. Specifically, I’m wondering, which schools will accept a majority of my credit because I don’t wanna have to redo a lot of things. I haven’t decided on a school, but I would really like to get out of the south and I’m looking at some schools in Virginia in DC mainly. Thank you anything helps

Edit: for context I am a philosophy major with a focus on law,liberty, and justice. My minor is CJ.

WeRoar Clemson proudly presents "Milo Yiannopoulos: Make Clemson Great Again" in an event open to all members of the public. Milo Yiannopoulos will be speaking at Clemson University on Tuesday, October 18th from 7-9PM in Tillman Auditorium.

Milo Yiannopoulos Bio:

"Milo Yiannopoulos is a Greek-British journalist, entrepreneur and technology editor for Breitbart News, a conservative news and opinion website based in the United States. He has previously written under the pseudonym Milo Andreas Wagner.

Yiannopoulos founded The Kernel, an online tabloid magazine about technology, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in 2014. He rose to notability that year when he began to provide media coverage and commentary surrounding the Gamergate controversy. As a self-identified homosexual, "cultural libertarian", and "free speech fundamentalist", he is a vocal critic of third wave feminism, Islam, social justice theory, political correctness, and other movements and ideologies he perceives to be authoritarian and regressive. While Yiannopoulos has been called a spokesperson for the alt-right, he prefers to consider himself a reporter of, and "occasional fellow traveler with" the movement."
