Political Correctness at Sonoma State University

A friend is attending there, and reports:
There's an online "climate" (apparently in the sense of incidence of situations which someone, especially protected categories, might take offense to, rather than long-term weather trends) survey that they want people to fill out. It has checkboxes for various categories. Look at the nomenclature and ordering for this one:

Q7 My sexual orientation is:
  • Bisexual
  • Gay male
  • Lesbian
  • Heterosexual
  • Unsure
  • Queer

Despite this piece of weirdly ordered elaboration, they have no category for mixed ethnic background, only "Other".
