Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts

Harvard University is considering asking prospective students whether they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, the university's newspaper reports.

William R. Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions, said the university would not be using the question to favour LGBT students in the application process, but that they wanted "to send a positive signal to students".
