Right up there with "keep the government out of the bedroom unless it is writing a check for what goes on in the bedroom" comes this example of "respecting the right of privacy...

...unless government funding is at stake."

Incoming UC Students May Be Asked To Declare 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.

The UC Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools had mixed reactions but agreed that the question would allow them to collect important statistical information. They recommended putting the question on the SIR forms instead of college applications to protect students’ privacy.

The news made the front page of UCLA’s campus paper Daily Bruin and is stirring controversy across UC campuses.

Supporters say the declaration will help campuses better plan for the needs of LGBT students.

Queer Alliance Board member Luis Roman said he has spoken with university officials about the proposal, which he enthusiastically supports, because he believes it will bring badly needed services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.

Some members of that community believe it would show that there are many more LGBT students than university officials realize.

“I think the numbers are way bigger than we really imagine or know,” Roman said.

Coming soon - affirmative action for the "differently gendered."

Heresy Often Tend to Mutate Into its Opposite

Feminism often winds up struggling to de-feminize women. Secular liberation movements end in chains for massive portions of the population. Soviets who promised bread, peace and land wound up starving their citizens, plunging into war, and taking all their land.

And lefties who start out claiming that the right to privacy trumps the law of God end by saying the State has the right to pry into everybody’s sexual orientation.

Lunacy.
