Response to “Add LGBTQ identity question to college application”
In Monday’s guest column, Daniel Kort suggests that an optional LGBTQ identity question be added to next year's undergraduate application. While I find Kort’s commitment to creating a more LGBTQ-friendly campus commendable, as a gay student myself, I oppose the proposal because it would bring unfair disadvantages to LGBTQ applicants who have yet to come to terms with their identity or who are not ready to come out.
