College job application has 'queer' option

(DENVER.CBSLOCAL) — A word on job applications at Colorado College has sparked a controversy.

“I’m a little skeptical of what that could present to potential employees,” Colorado Collage Quinn Webb said.

The options include to not disclose, “male”, “female,” “transgender” or “queer.” The “queer” option is stirring up some controversy. Rex Fuller with Denver’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender (LGBT) Community Center weighed in.
