Son has meeting at his HS with a visiting rep from a college he was interested in attending. My son described him as a flaming gay guy wearing too much jewelry. The info card he was given to complete had the usual contact info but also wanted to know if he was LGBTQ, it was one of 4 or 5 lines to complete. So son now thinks the school is only recruiting the LGBTQ community and checked off his list. Not that there is anything wrong with LGBTQ but why would a college want to be represented in that way?
I think that's a pretty big conclusion to which to jump.

I agree but we are talking about a 16 yr old. I don't know if I can ever get him to consider the college again. Are there other schools that want to know sexual preference from the get go????? Why would this ever be part of an information gathering process?
