- W590366943 abstract "The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) civil rights movement has made tremendous advances over the years. Many polls show that acceptance of same-sex marriage and other rights for LGBT individuals are at their highest. These polls have also shown that an overwhelmingly large population of younger Americans support and accept LGBT individuals. With this growing acceptance, more Americans are deciding to come out. In fact, some individuals are beginning to come out in application processes for colleges and universities—telling the prospective colleges and universities that they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered. One question is whether this information should be used in giving affirmative action treatment to individuals who have identified themselves as a member of the LGBT community. Affirmative action programs have been around since the early 1960s. Originally created to end discrimination that had plagued the African-American community and to give African Americans equal opportunities, affirmative action programs have now morphed into a way to counter discrimination on several grounds, including national origin, religion, and gender. Affirmative action programs also act as a way to compensate for past discrimination, persecution, * Associate Professor of Law, Southern University Law Center.
