The relentless advocates of identity politics don't care about antique notions like privacy in their campaign to make everything subject to quota. Three weeks ago, Lee DeCovnik wrote about the State of California requiring all judges to make a declaration of their sexuality. He asked:
Now that the beastly camel has poked its nose into the tent, can we expect a question on sexual orientation as part of the admissions process for colleges and universities? Just how soon until sexual orientation becomes a factor in receiving preferential treatment in hiring for state jobs, bidding on state contracts, and granting professional licensees from state boards?
Lee has proven prescient. CBS Los Angeles reports:
The next influx of UC students may be asked to state their sexual orientation.
In January, the Academic Senate recommended 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.

Given that homosexuality is a comprehensive worldview, doesn’t this question amount to an unconstitutional religious test for officeholders?
I would tell them that my sexual orientation is GFY...
though the activist judges brought this on themselves...
RE: though the activist judges brought this on themselves...
Maybe most of them really WANT people to know...
LOL!
Smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen...oh the irony...
My response to such a questio would be - “normal”.
Jim Quinn, of the Quinn in the Morning radio show, has what he calls “Quinn’s First Law”.
Liberalism always generates the EXACT OPPOSITE of it’s stated intent.
Since this appears to be the end result of the whole 1960’s Sexual Liberation Movement, a disc jockey who dropped out of college appears to be right once again.

“In order to make sure gays and lesbians are adequately represented on the judicial bench, the state of California is requiring all judges and justices to reveal their sexual orientation. The announcement was made in an internal memo sent to all California judges and justices.
“[The Administrative Office of the Courts] is contacting all judges and justices to gather data on race/ethnicity, gender identification, and sexual orientation,” reads an email sent by Romunda Price of the Administrative Office of the Courts. A copy of Price’s memo was obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD.
“Providing complete and accurate aggregate demographic data is crucial to garnering continuing legislative support for securing critically needed judgeships,” Price writes.
The process of self-revealing one’s sexual orientation is an element of a now yearly process. “To ensure that the AOC reports accurate data and to avoid the need to ask all judges to provide this information on an annual basis, the questionnaire asks that names be provided. The AOC, however, will release only aggregate statistical information, by jurisdiction, as required by the Government Code and will not identify any specific justice or judge.”
California Asks Judges: Gay or Straight? (Feb 24, 2012, The Weekly Standard )
This is one of the main reasons why I never bought into the “Why can't we just let them love each other in peace?” argument that liberals and libertarians make to re-write marriage laws. I know what they are really up to.
Where is Ron Paul on this one?, Affirmative Action based on sexual desires? Gender identification?
How about Racial Identification? How come I can't get affirmative action for claiming I am a African American trapped in a while Male's body?
Sexual Orientation? yes.
if pressed, put “questioning”, since they are indeed “questioning” you.
How about “Unsure at this time” as an answer?
In January, the Academic Senate recommended that upon accepting admission offers from a University of California school students should have the option of identifying themselves as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, or pedophile.
isn’t this part of the homoagenda?
This should be tested in court.
Very few that claim to be ‘African American’ have ever been there, much less were born there. It isn't a race, Negro is but damn few claim that.
I think anyone could be on firm legal ground claiming to be ‘African American’ by that standard.
Actually, this is really interesting. Think about it; if they do start giving preferences to the sodomites in California in education, hiring and state jobs......maybe all the sodomites from the other states will flock to California! Then when Mexico annexes California, (with some prompting from the other states), Mexico can deal with them. That wouldn’t be such a bad deal!
“How about Racial Identification? How come I can’t get affirmative action for claiming I am a African American trapped in a while Male’s body? “
Do you HATE yourself? It just might work!
what if a person changes mid semester? or just declares for special rights? will there be a “homosexuality” test?
too bad judges are positioned on external factors, rather than adherance to the Constitution...
anybody still believe that the electorate can *change* this Republic back to how it was designed ???
Obama is a constitutional scholar and he assures us that the 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil war to protect transgender individuals trapped in the wrong bodies from being discriminated against. Treating them like their actual sex is like imposing ‘identity’ slavery on them. Lincoln attacked the South to end that.
