I'm looking into transfering universities. I am wanting a school and area that is fairly LGBT friendly. My major would either be Speech Language Pathology or Photo Journalism. Also, I would prefer to be close to home, which is Kansas, but it's not absolutely necessary. Any help would be appreciated!!

Well, it's a couple states over but Ohio State University's main campus in Columbus, OH is really GLBT friendly. Some of the high-ups were actually in the pride parade here in Columbus this year. The campus is in a really accepting area. There are houses just south of campus around "The Short North" that have rainbow and HRC flags on them. I lived in rural Ohio and just moved to Columbus last year. It's a great town for GLBT peeps.

I think Smith College and Mount Holyoke College are both way up there. They're excellent schools and are both SUPER queer-friendly. I went to Smith, but spent a lot of time at MHC as well.
Your best bet is to go on campus visits after you've narrowed down your list a bit. You can get a much better feel for a school if you're actually there - school literature is always a bit inaccurate.

Speaking as a gay guy who's been there; don't pick a college because it's gay friendly. Pick it because it's the best educationally. In college everything is different from high school; you'll actually learn things and social pressures are less important. People in college, unlike high school, don't care about sexuality for the most part; and every college (far as I know) has a gay straight alliance.

i can recommend 2 schools. ...the first is in your own back yard....KU (lawrence ks). the second is near and dear to my own heart.....THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. USC is in columbia which is super GLBT friendly especially in and around campus and the 5 points area near campus.
