Being gay now qualifies you for special scholarships at Elmhurst College

Prospective freshmen and transfer students applying for the 2012 fall semester will become the first group of applicants to check "yes," "no" or "prefer not to answer."
Their answers will not play a role in the admissions process.
A "yes" answer could put students in line to qualify for a scholarship worth one-third of tuition at the private, liberal arts school affiliated with the United Church of Christ, said Rold.

Not that Elmhurst is a top tier school to begin with, but still, this is assinine.

There are tons and tons of moonbats in Chicagoland.

So they don't want to be treated different, or do they?  I am confused.

It's all about diversity. The moonbats insist on having every conceivable human, android, and primate attend that school.

Gay people should be disgusted by this.  My two best friends are a gay married couple and they told me they were horrified that a school would decide who is deserving of scholarships based on sexuality. 

They both worked their asses off putting themselves through med school, and will owe school loans until 2040, but they still would never accept such a scholarship.

Most gay people won't.  I have several good friends who are gay, and this kinda shit pisses them off.  It also pisses them off when the government decides they should be offended by things they are not and takes it upon itself to be offended for them.

Liberals flat out KNOW when people ought to be offended by something, even if the people themselves aren't.  It's like the Native American tribe in Florida that said they were proud that they were honored with having a school mascot named after them.  But liberals wouldn't have it.  Obviously, the Native Americans, weren't intelligent enough (since they're not, you know... white) to know they should have been offended by having a mascot named after them, and pursued the lawsuit anyways.

The Dean was on TV last night. He said this was "optional," but for how long he didn't say.

I took an accounting class at Elmhurst College in 1963 and couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.

Wow great news for my family, Me and Hubby, all my kids and their kids can now come out of the closet and become Gay in name only for a few years.  Almost free education, most likely get food stamps and section 8 housing.   

A scholarship based on sexual preference is like granting a scholarship to people who won't eat canned peas.

I don't know, if I were a student who had to take out huge loans for school I might just check the box as yes in hope.

Careful there, Arne Duncan might just drop by and make you prove it.
Kevin Jennings, that is.
