HAPPENING NOW:\u00a0Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh Testify Before Senate Committee: LIVE VIDEO<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\nWinter is gay<\/a>. In a new piece in New York<\/em> magazine\u2019s The Cut<\/a>, Winter described living in the single room in that suite, and the \u201cgrim\u201d living conditions, both physically and socially, he found himself in:\u00a0\u201cI was out, but I was still a little alienated. I was not really a joiner, I don\u2019t think. Yale was not a particularly gay<\/a>-friendly environment, but I was also not a particularly friendly person. I looked alienated. I felt alienated. I drank a lot.\u201d<\/p>\nA few details from the piece, which offers a new window into Kavanaugh\u2019s college years:<\/p>\n
Winter said the shared bathroom was constantly covered in vomit: \u2018Especially disgusting was the shared bathroom, which was always covered in vomit. Kavanaugh and his crowd, whom Winter characterizes as \u201cloud, obnoxious frat boy<\/a>-like drunks\u201d were the hardest drinkers on campus even back then, when hard drinking did not hold the stigma it does today. In a statement earlier this week, Roche recalled Kavanaugh \u201cfrequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk,\u201d and Winter corroborates that recollection. \u201cThere was a lot of vomit in the bathroom. No one ever cleaned it up. It was disgusting. It wasn\u2019t incidental. It wasn\u2019t, \u2018Oh, this weekend someone puked in the bathroom.\u2019 People were constantly puking in the bathroom. Constantly.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\nWinter also described coming home one day to find a dead pigeon nailed to his room\u2019s door:\u00a0\u201cIt wasn\u2019t rotten or anything. I assumed that someone found a dead bird on the ground,\u201d he says.\u00a0\u201cI interpreted it as an act of social hostility slash terrorism. I thought it was a very clear message. \u2018We don\u2019t like you, and we don\u2019t want you here.\u2019 I didn\u2019t know who it was who didn\u2019t want me here. I didn\u2019t know who had done it.\u201d<\/p>\n
