Are heterosexuals marginalized?

I got harrassed at a .gov job by a boss who was trying to get my certifications revoked. He was targetting the fact that I had "a lot of young.girl.friends on facebook" (all were legal, out of highschool, etc) He said it looked bad.

So after enough harrassment.... I stated in an investigation that I was gay and preferred the company of pretty females because they best understood and accepted me and that I didn't appreciate being forced to come out like this because bossman was trying to say I slept with young girls. Amazingly enough.... all investigations stopped

my only question is how one can prove you're gay in order to apply for a gay scholarship.... or straight to apply for a straight scholarship.

I also knew a black girl that looked white.... blonde hair blue eyes. (Her hair was the black hair) But it took me 6 months to realize she was actually black.

but if you saw her sitting in a classroom on a minority scholarship, you'd think she lied about it.

I'd play the "gay card" all day long if I could not get ahead on my own merit. Let someone try and prove that I don't sleep with other men.

this is where liberalism has taken us. Liberals create little silos to place people into so they can pander to them instead of treating all as equal.

Right now, gays are the new flavor of the day for liberal politicians. Who knows what it will be next year.

And instead of wanting to be treated as equals with no special considerations, the gay movement throws in with those who consider them inferior; liberals

Just be gay or straight and get our scholarship! That's nothing compared to some of the weirdo scholarship stipulations out there. I mean just take a look at these scholarships. http://www.fastweb.com/college-schol...arships?page=1

My favorite thus far, live in a nudist's colony to get this scholarship.

People can put whatever stipulations they want on the money they give you, what's the big deal? You just have to apply for the ones that suit you. lol

A disadvantaged group seeks to help its members overcome that disadvantage. What is your problem?

I don't know what you are talking about however I fully support private groups being able to do whatever they feel be it scholarships based upon how you have sex and even clubs for boys where those who like gay sex cannot be team leaders.

What about those who do not believe in having any sex period? Where would they fit into the equation?

pretty common these days ain't it? discrimination against the majority by the minority. While I believe it is wrong to discriminate on basis of sexual orientation but if it's private they can do whatever they please. They could even decide to just let straight white male anglo-saxon protestants in, altough they'll get severe criticism for that. Which is hypocritical considering that there are gay-only, and black-only, women-only.

Right, these race or sexuality-based scholarships are such a joke - it's just reverse discrimination.

I wonder how a person has to "prove" they're gay to qualify for the scholarships anyway - do they have to mail them a sex tape?
