Hi,
I have concerns on if engineering is as a profession homophobic.
I have read a variety of things on engineering which have convinced me that I like engineering however I read many things on the subject of gays in engineering and they were either not clear or all together negative.
So is engineering anti-gay and homophobic ? or is it more tolerent than I thought?
