A college has been condemned for asking 16 and 17-year-old students whether they were gay or straight on registration forms. The teenagers were asked to complete the paperwork and indicate whether they were bisexual, a gay man, a lesbian, a heterosexual, a transsexual or 'prefer not to say'. The questions came on the same form they completed with innocent personal details such as their age, address and contact details. Some students have been in tears and claim it is an invasion of their privacy. They demanded to know why such a personal question is on the front of the form along with their names when the information could be provided anonymously. |
