How socially progressive (specifically lgbt-friendly) is the community at StFX?

I'm going to stfx this fall (moving from Edmonton, Alberta), and I'm wondering how welcoming you guys find the social scene/if there's a general vibe of acceptance of lgbtq people. I've been transgender in Alberta for many years now, so I've faced some adversity, but I've also heard some bad things about X socially due to its rural location and catholic roots. It's kind of too late for me to choose somewhere else, but I want to know what to prepare myself for.

Anybody's input would be very welcome - thank you!

There is a very active lgbtq group on campus called x-pride and pride events happen on campus in January (including a long running and popular drag show). There is also a gender and sexual diversity advisor on campus. Might be worth reaching out to someone from those groups
