The conference was a huge success and attracted over 150 gay and lesbian MBA students and corporate sponsors from around the country for a day and a half of panel discussions, speakers, and socializing. Now the conference is an annual springtime event, hostedby a different school each year. We recognize that our club's name does not specifically mention bisexuals, but that is in no way meant to exclude bisexuals from the organization. Gay students at HBS are not all the same. Each person may feel differently talking with you about his or her sexual orientation.
Some students are open about being gay, and are happy to talk about it.
You can feel free to ask them any questions you like. Other students may be extremely uncomfortable talking with you about this issue. They may worry that you will think differently of them knowing their sexual orientation or that you will not respect their privacy. They may be concerned that their reputation at HBS and in their careers could be harmed if others knew they were gay. They may also be having difficulty themselves accepting their orientation.
