They still have to be intelligent enough to get into the school. If they want to offer a scholarship specifically to LGBT students, fine. There are plenty of scholarships out there that are offered to people of Dutch decent, Christians, Muslims, people of specific strands of society. Why should we suddenly be unhappy when there's an LGBT scholarship? It doesn't mean that they'll get into the school, it just means that if they do, they can pay for it.

My guess is because you referenced "the lefts" fuzzy logic in a thread about a LGBT scholarship.
