[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s a meaningful part of their identity, yes it adds to diversity. But you don’t just put “I’m gay.” You write your essay about it. You highlight your involvement in the GSA or doing LGBTQ advocacy, etc[/quote]

But there’s nothing particularly remarkable about being gay so you really have to make it individualistic and not a trope. They have read a million coming out stories. [/quote]

I don't want the child to discuss their sexual orientation, period. But if this is a criteria in the college admission, I don't see why not to disclose it. My question I guess how do we find out if particular college give any weight to this criteria. Like, some colleges lists if they give some weight to legacy, or demonstrated interest, etc. [/quote]

Are you serious? Where did you get that idea that gay students get a leg up?[/quote]

If you go on the college forum, some parents associate being LGBTQ as a “hook.” Right up there with legacy, URM, first Gen. I wish I were kidding, but I’m not.[/quote]
