In January, the Common Application decided not to include a question about college applicant’s sexual orientation or gender identity in its widely used application. Last week, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons ’67 told The Crimson that despite that decision, Harvard College is considering giving applicants that option on its supplement in order to show prospective students that the College is a welcoming space for them. If it does, Harvard will join Elmhurst College, which was the first college in the country to pose such a question this year. Peer institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania are also considering such additions to their applications.
We welcome the College’s decision to offer students the option to self-identify as queer. Such a question does not force students to pick a label while offering students who wish to utilize the option the opportunity to show the College another aspect of their identity.
Harvard prides itself on recognizing the diversity of our student body, through demographic questions and public events such as Diversitas. Public recognition of diversity with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity is no different, and this move will reaffirm the College’s commitment to diversity in all its forms. As with other identity questions, providing applicants with the option of self-identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender shows that Harvard acknowledges and values these unique aspects of their identities.
It should be no secret that queer students are enthusiastically embraced at Harvard and have held top leadership positions in cultural groups, the Harvard College Democrats, and the Harvard Republican Club. The University covers a variety of medical options for transgender students and employees, has appointed openly gay housemasters, and recently opened a BGLTQ student resource center.

Okay.....Yikes!
Thanks, I think.
“What is the difference between gay and queer?”
Just the name. In the 70s homosexuals wanted to be called gay rather than all of the various insulting terms. In general they got their way. But in the process “gay” became an insulting term. So now we have a new generation that doesn’t want to be called gay. They prefer “queer.”
Besides, “gay” is so, you know, last century.....
PING!
Affirmative Action for perverts?? Who didn’t see this coming??
Harvard entrance asks: “Do you like gladiator movies?”
Remember that movie about the white guy coloring his skin to get all the college benefits white folk don't get?
Homos are the most protected and privileged class in America now—and all they have to do is have perverted sick and wrong sex with each other. Being a homo doesn't show like being a black or Asian—hell,lie and say you are queer and get in on all the special goodies!
"Gay", from the French gai: merry, is a euphemism.
"Queer", from the German quer: bent; awry, is the correct term
one is 'happy' to be anally invaded, and the other enjoys 'weird and unusual' sex, in the form of being anally invaded ???
were doomed...
Or...by example:
Al Gore is Gay.
Bawney Fwank is QUEER.
Kinda puts it all in perspective...
FUNNY! We have an unusual last name and encourage our kid to jokingly apply as a Native American ....we don’t lie
But we are beyond sure it would work!
