Higher education is a way to escape, but that's not always an option, takes a lot of work to do well, and is very expensive. You have greater control over your social life but that can be tricky without the parent filter, and everybody makes a few mistakes there. Of course everybody knows that college girls do the pseudo-lesbian thing, so that's a fun plus.
Better is very subjective.

You're right. A "Working Class/Non College" gay probably has less light at the end of the tunnel/is looking down a longer tunnel, and probably has less access to this resource. But that still doesn't make it a bad thing?
