Beginning on April 11, Princeton will host its first conference for LGBT alumni, and for our April 3 cover story, journalist Richard Just ’01 spoke with several older gay alumni. Some of these graduates felt completely alone on campus; others found deep friendships and love. Most have complex feelings about their time at the University. But in one sense, their stories have a theme we can all relate to: They spent their college years, as Just writes, “struggling to figure out who they really were.”
