To answer a question asked earlier, being gay is not a hook. A true hook is something that people can say "oh yeah - they're the applicant that was X". A pseudo hook is something that the university can use to help its counting stats.
true hooks: fame, extraordinary accomplishments on the national or international level, something one-of-a-kind.
pseudo hooks: race, socioeconomic factors, legacy status (all are counted by universities including Yale)
Yale doesn't census (or particularly care about) the sexuality of admitted students; therefore it is not a hook of any kind.
