<p>As long as your essay is appealing—homosexual or not—you will lend some interest to your application. Your topic makes sense, but it will not necessarily “tip the scale” just because you explain your identity acceptance (which is a great thing); if it’s a beautiful essay, it’s a beautiful essay, and adcoms will appreciate it. But they will not make their decision with emphasis on your sexual orientation unless they believe you are/are not a good fit for their school. I think we both know that they might not be so happy about it if you are applying to a seriously conservative school.</p>
<p>…People like hereicome are ignorant, and that’s all I have to say about that.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
