Nice try 
My argument may be a strawman and I don't see but to prove you will need to show how I am misstating the schools position.
It was an example of fuzzy thinking. Do you believe scholarships
for GLBT are needed to increase the diversity of liberal arts schools?

No I do not believe they are needed, nor do I believe they should be desired.
1) Yet they are a private institution so I believe they should have the right to offer them if they want, for it isn't hurt people.
2) I also understand it is good business sense to offer these scholarships in the way they are doing so.
Pretty much I do not see this as right vs left, but instead a tactic at profit maximization. Even though this is a school, it is also very much a business and the school is doing what it needs to gain additional revenue sources
A fine example of the fuzzy logic of the left

Personally I still favor demographic blind subsidies as the best route to meritocracy.

I would have no problem with a LGBT only school as long as it didn't take state money

If you're talking about "affirmative action", then yes, I oppose that.

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