This is so ridiculous.

Of all the things that the State of California should be focusing on this has to be the most ludicrous.

Incoming UC Students May Be Asked To Declare Their Sexual Orientation

For what?

What is going on in this state?

I thought gays wanted to be accepted as normal and embraced like everyone else without regard to their sexual orientation!?!

This will make them a separate category.

A category that can change, that is not static, that may develop over time...

Amazing.

I didn't read the link but maybe it's like - if you're not a homosexual you don't get in.

One's sexual orientation isn't anyone's business unless you choose to "flaunt" your choices! If you do that, then it's fair game. Nobody needs to know that part of your private life!

Silly idea. Anyone can lie there, it's not like asking about skin color...

Oh good lord. Only an anti-gay conservative reads:

"that upon accepting admission offers from a University of California school students should have the option of identifying themselves as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender"

as:

students being "required to disclose their sexual orientation when entering a University"

Why the heck is it so important that their sexual orientation even be voluntarily divulged or publicly revealed in the first place?

Hard to "serve" the next protected class without identifying them. Of course identification can work both ways.

Not surprised about the location of this story though and reaffirms my view that California has slid into the moral abyss with very little hope of return.

The title of the article:

Incoming UC Students May Be Asked To Declare Their Sexual Orientation

did you read it?

by the way I'M NOT ANTI GAY... I'M ANTI BRAINWASHING!

there is NOTHING normal about homosexuality it's an alternative lifestyle CHOICE. I say CHOICE because we know what NORMAL is in our society and there are GREY AREAS...doesn't mean you have to force your agenda on people and change the standards!!!
