The first issue is that being gay is not something unusual to adcoms or one of the trait sets colleges look for. The like attributes that reflect how one will engage in that college’s community, try new things, reach out, etc. Gay or not.

And the advice is “show, not just tell.” So, not a string of declarations. Even with the law example, you’d need to show what you’re doing now that exemplifies.

There are some post grad programs where diversity in identity or personal prefs matters. Some professional programs, eg, seek to balance their class representation and their students’ sensitivty to, eg, issues among gay communities.

OP is applying for a different context.

So I still ask, how did this one experience change you, your outlook, in practice, your actual contributions to others, etc, for the better?
