<p>Can essay topics be too controversial to write on? </p>

<p>I'm thinking of writing one of my essays on how it was for me, as a homosexual, growing up in the South (specifically, Georgia). I'm not sure how this will be taken by colleges. What do you think?</p>

<p>at a place like yale that should be fine...the saying here for guys is "one in four, maybe more"...so it's not like admission officers aren't comfortable with it!!! :-)</p>
