[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The term is "hook," not "tip." Also, many of you don't seem to understand what's considered a hook and what isn't.

This article was written in 2012- lgbtq is currently a hook, along with any kind of trans situation.[/quote]

Being LGBTQ is not considered an under-represented minority.  While many elite colleges are very gay-friendly (which is a good thing), that's different from getting a structural advantage in admissions (as is the case with recruited athletes/legacies/under-represented racial/ethnic minorities).  Of course, a student's life story can be compelling, so an individual student who is LGBTQ could have a compelling story of overcoming hardship or finding the student's voice.  But the status itself is not a "hook."  So no need to add gay-bashing to the other intolerance shown by the green-eyed monsters who've emerged on this thread.[/quote]
