I agree that logistically it would very difficult to verify an applicant's claimed sexual orientation, but the purpose of my post was merely to demonstrate that LGBT individual's minority status goes largely unrecognized in this process...

Well, the LGB part would hard, but the T part would be as easy as getting a note from their doctor (i.e. gender dysphoria).
