"IT DIDN'T REALLY SRE ME, BUT DID MAKE ME ANGRY."L, WHO HAILS OM ORANGE COUNTY, CALIF., SAYS HE VISED HARVARD DURG PRE-OSH WEEK LAST YEAR AND DISVERED THAT THE COLLEGE DID NOT F "THE HARVARD MYTH OF A STUCK-UP, PREPPY SCHOOL."THE PENSULA'S NOVEMBER ISSUE, WHICH FEATURED AN EXPLODG PK TRIANGLE ON THE VER, LLED ON GAY STUNTS TO ATTEND UNSELG SSNS AND RETHK THEIR WAY OF LIFE. THE ISSUE SPARKED A SERI OF STUNT PROTTS AND SPIRED TWO RPECTED FACULTY MEMBERS TO REVEAL THEIR HOMOSEXUALY.SAYS L, "I KNEW PENSULA DID NOT REPRENT WHAT THE MAJORY OF STUNTS AT HARVARD FEEL."MOST GAY STUNTS SEEM TO AGREE THAT HARVARD AS A WHOLE IS A RELATIVELY WELG AND TOLERANT PLACE, BUT MANY SAY THEY N CE STANC OF MP TOLERANCE."I THK THAT HARVARD GENERAL IS VERY TOLERANT," SAYS JAVIER ROMERO '95, -VICE CHAIR OF THE BISEXUAL, GAY AND LBIAN STUNT ASSOCIATN (BGLSA). "BUT I THK THAT THERE'S A LOT OF UNRLYG HOMOPHOBIA."LAST YEAR'S PENSULA ISSUE AND AN ANTI-GAY SLUR POSTED ON A LOWELL HOE STUNT'S DOOR WERE THE MOST BLATANT ANTI-GAY ACTNS. BUT MORE SUBTLE DITNS OF HOSTILY ARE ALSO PREVALENT, SAY SOME GAY STUNTS.BGLSA LEARS SAY, FOR STANCE, THAT THE ANIZATN'S POSTERS ARE OFTEN TORN DOWN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, PECIALLY CERTA {DISPLAY:BLOCK;MARG:0PX TO;WIDTH:100%;MAX-WIDTH:100%;BACKGROUND:TRANSPARENT;PADDG:10PX 0PX;} {FONT-FAY:'COLABORATE LIGHT','LUCIDA SANS UNI',SANS-SERIF;LOR:#333333;TEXT-ALIGN:CENTER;FONT-SIZE:0.7EM;TEXT-TRANSFORM:UPPERSE;DISPLAY:BLOCK;} {WIDTH:-WEBK-F-NTENT;WIDTH:-MOZ-F-NTENT;WIDTH:F-NTENT;MARG:0PX TO;TEXT-ALIGN:CENTER;}ADVERTISEMENTIN ANOTHER EXAMPLE, BENJAM F. BCH '94 SAYS A IEND OVERHEARD A HARVARD GUARD SLURRG GAYS. THE IEND, WHO NOTIFIED HIS HOE'S THORI ABOUT THE CINT, WAS TOLD THAT SENSIVY TRAG FOR THE GUARD WAS ELS, BCH SAYS.AND SHEILA C. ALLEN '93 SAYS SHE REMEMBERS A HARVARD LAW STUNT URATG THROUGH THE WDOW SCREEN OF THE ADAMS HOE DG HALL AND YELLG ANTI-GAY MENTS."I DON'T THK I'VE EVER BEEN PERSONALLY LLED ANY BAD NAM," ALLEN SAYS, "BUT YOU DON'T FEEL EXEMPT OM THE POSSIBILY OF THGS HAPPENG TO YOU."STUNTS ALSO AGREE THAT TOLERANCE AND OPENNS VARI OM HOE TO HOE. A NUMBER NAME KIRKLAND AND ELT AS HO WH AN UNIENDLY IMAGE AMONG GAYS, WHILE DUNSTER, LOWELL, ADAMS AND THE -OPS WERE OFTEN CED AS WELG AND FORTABLE PLAC FOR PEOPLE OF ALL SEXUAL ORIENTATNS."I HAVE A IEND WHO LIV KIRKLAND WHO SAYS SHE'S REALLY AAID TO BE OUT [OF THE CLOSET] THERE JT BEE OF THE ATTU OF THE HOE," SAYS CYNTHIA R. PHILLIPS '95.BUT KIRKLAND SENR TUTOR GARTH O. MCCAVANA SAYS THAT, BEE OF NON-ORRED CHOICE, THE HOE POPULATN IS NOW HOME TO A "MUCH BROAR SPECTM OF THE UNIVERSY AS A WHOLE.""I'VE CERTALY HEARD [THAT KIRKLAND IS NOT TOLERANT]," HE SAYS. "LIKE MOST STEREOTYP, I DON'T THK 'S VALID."AND ELT RINT WILLIAM T. DOUGHERTY '93 DISPUT CHARG THAT HIS HOE IS HOSTILE TO GAYS."I AM FORTABLE HERE," SAYS DOUGHERTY, WHO IS AN EDOR OF THE GAY MAGAZE HQ. "[BUT] THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO E OM ADAMS WHO FEEL VERY UNFORTABLE."ELT IS NOT ANTI-GAY, HE SAYS, BUT IS "SOCIALLY VERY RIGID" AND OVERTLY POLIL OR NTROVERSIAL BEHAVR IS OWNED UPON BY HOE RINTS.ADVERTISEMENTTHE DISTCTN THAT DOUGHERTY DRAWS BETWEEN THOSE GAY STUNTS WHO FEEL FORTABLE ELT AND SOME WHO DO NOT IS AN IMPORTANT ONE, HE SAYS. NOT ALL GAY STUNTS NFORM TO THE FLAMBOYANT STEREOTYPE OF A MAN "PK CHIFFON."THE GAY MUNY IS FAR OM A MONOLHIC ONE, ACRDG TO DOUGHERTY. OTHER STUNTS AGREE. "TOO OFTEN AT HARVARD, GAY ISSU ARE EQUATED WH LIBERAL OR RADIL ISSU," DOUGHERTY SAYS. "WE HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT VIEWPOTS--THERE IS NO ONE GAY AGENDA."IN A POPULATN TIMATED AT 600, GAY STUNTS SAY, THERE N BE NO SGLE PERSONALY OR WAY OF LIVG--A FACT THEY SAY PEOPLE IGNORANT OF HARVARD'S GAY POPULATN OFTEN DO NOT NSIR OR REALIZE.THERE EXISTS A LARGE NUMBER OF GAY STUNTS WHO HAVE NOT CLARED THEMSELV PUBLICLY GAY, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "G OUT OF THE CLOSET." NO ONE KNOWS HOW LARGE THIS GROUP IS, BUT SOME BELIEVE ULD BE THE MAJORY OF HARVARD'S GAY STUNTS.STUNTS WHO DO CI TO E OUT AT HARVARD N DRAW ON A LARGE WORK OF SUPPORT GROUPS. THE MOST PROMENT STUNT ANIZATN FOR BISEXUAL, GAY AND LBIAN STUNTS IS THE BGLSA, WHICH FUNCTNS BOTH AS A SOCIAL AND POLIL ANIZATN."BEE 'S THE MA ANIZATN FOR BISEXUALS, GAYS AND LBIANS, WE HAVE TO BE A SOCIAL ANIZATN," SAYS BGLSA -CHAIR JOHN A. FRAZIER '95. "WE ALSO HAVE TO MAKE A STRONG POLIL PRENCE, MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD."A NUMBER OF STUNTS SAY THEY MEET PEOPLE AND GA AN SENTIAL SENSE OF MUNY THROUGH THE BGLSA. THE GROUP HOLDS WEEKLY MEETGS AND SPONSORS DANC EVERY MONTH.HOWEVER, OTHERS SAY MANY STUNTS HAVE LTLE TO DO WH --SOCIALLY OR POLILLY. ANOTHER GAY POPULATN, ONE WHICH TENDS TO REMA STRICTLY TO SELF, CENTERS AROUND ANIZATNS LIKE THE HASTY PUDDG, SOME FAL CLUBS AND CERTA SGG GROUPS, ACRDG TO TIMOTHY M. HALL '93, AN HQ EDOR.SUCH STUNTS "TEND TO BE NSERVATIVE, SOCIABLE AND CLOSETTED," SAYS HALL. IN ADDN, THIS GAY POPULATN TENDS TO REMA STRICTLY TO SELF, HE SAYS."THEY DON'T WRE LETTERS TO THE CRIMSON SAYG 'I'M GAY AND YOU'VE OFFEND ME,' THEY DON'T GO TO RALLI, THEY DON'T GO TO BGLSA MEETGS," BCH SAYS.ADVERTISEMENTANOTHER SOCIAL LOC FOR THE LBIANS AND BISEXUAL WOMEN STUNT POPULATN IS SUPPLIED BY ACTIVI SUCH AS WOMEN'S DISCSN GROUP 7TH SENSE AND THE FEMIST MAGAZE THE RAG."POLILLY, [GAY MEN AND WOMEN] ARE A SOME-WHAT HIVE GROUP," SAYS BGLSA CO-CHAIR SEASON N. RAY '93-94. "[BUT] SOCIALLY WOMEN ARE PRETTY SEPARATE OM MEN....I THK A LOT OF OUT WOMEN HANG OUT TOGETHER."THE -OPS ARE A PART OF OF GAY SOCIAL LIFE AS WELL. STUNTS SAY THE POPULATN OF GAY AND BISEXUAL WOMEN IS PECIALLY STRONG AT THE DUDLEY -OPS, ALTHOUGH ONE WOMAN RINT SAYS THAT SUCH PERCEPTNS ARE NOT AS TE NOW AS THEY WERE LAST YEAR. THEY SUPPLY A IENDLY ATMOSPHERE BUT ARE NOT A "ROLICKG SCENE," SAYS RAY.GAY, LBIAN AND BISEXUAL STUNTS WHO EQUENT GAY BARS AND CLUBS ARE ANOTHER SUBGROUP OF THE GAY MUNY. CLUBS LIKE CLUB CAFE AND INDIGO N BE A PLACE OF PE FOR HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE, DOUGHERTY SAYS, SCE IS "STILL VERY TABOO FOR MEN TO WALK HAND HAND," EVEN AT HARVARD."THERE ARE CERTA PLAC BOSTON WHERE GAY MEN N GO AND HAVE ANONYMO SEX," HE SAYS, ADDG THAT SOME STUNTS E THE PLACE FOR PE.BISEXUALS ARE ALSO A DISTCT GROUP, BOTH WH AND OUTSI THE GAY MUNY. THEY FACE ISSU THAT ARE UNIQUE. FOR STANCE, BISEXUALS ARE OFTEN BLAMED FOR THE SPREAD OF AIDS, RAY SAYS.BISEXUALS ARE ALSO PERCEIVED AS LS THREATENG BY THE STRAIGHT MUNY, SAYS RAY. THIS MAY BE WHY, WH THE GAY MUNY, SOME BISEXUALS ARE "ASKED TO PROVE THEIR QUEERNS MORE," SHE SAYS.DPE ALL OF THE PERCEIVED CLIQU, GAY STUNTS STRS THAT NO GENERALIZATN N VER THE SOCIAL LIFE OF A GAY POPULATN WHICH IS AS DIVERSE AS HARVARD'S STRAIGHT MUNY.AS WH STRAIGHT STUNTS, GAY RELATNSHIPS RANGE OM LONG-TERM TO BRIEF ONE-NIGHT STANDS, SAY GAY UNRGRADUAT. GAY STUNTS, LIKE THEIR STRAIGHT UNTERPARTS, SPEND TIME WH IENDS THEY MET THROUGH SHARED TERTS AND ACTIVI, THEY SAY."MOST OF MY SOCIAL LIFE IS HANGG OUT WH SMALL GROUPS OF IENDS WHETHER THEY'RE GAY OR STRAIGHT," SAYS DAVID L. DUNN '93, WHO IS PRINT OF THE HARVARD DEMOCRATS.ADVERTISEMENT"IN ONE SENSE, I'M PART OF A GAY SOCIAL LIFE, BUT ANOTHER SENSE I'M NOT PART OF AT ALL," SAYS JOEL L. DERFNER '95, WHO IS TREASURER OF THE BGLSA. HE SPENDS A GREAT AL OF HIS TIME WH IENDS MET THROUGH THEATER AND MIC, HE SAYS.HARVARD CAN DO MOREYET, SPE THE DIVERSY HARVARD'S GAY SOCIAL SCENE, SOME STUNTS SAY THE COLLEGE N DO MORE TO MAKE THE UNIVERSY A WELG PLACE FOR GAY, LBIAN AND BISEXUAL STUNTS.FOR STARTERS, GAY STUNTS UNANIMOLY LL FOR STRONG OPPOSN TO THE PRENCE OF ROTC ON MP."OBVLY [ROTC] IS DISCRIMATORY AND NOT PATIBLE WH WHAT THE UNIVERSY SAYS S POSN IS," FRAZIER SAYS.THE UNIVERSY SHOULD ALSO END S PRENT UNOFFICIAL POLICY OF DISURAGG HOE TRANSFER REQUTS, WHICH ARE BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATN ISSU, ACRDG TO A LARGE NUMBER OF GAY STUNTS.DEAN OF HOG THOMAS A. DGMAN '67 SAYS THAT THE UAL RPONSE TO SUCH REQUTS IS TO "URGE THE STUNT TO GO BACK AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE RPONSIBILY FOR THE HOE" RATHER THAN TO ALLOW THE STUNT TO TRANSFER.SUCH A POLICY "SORT OF ASSUM THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE RPONSIBILY TO TE PEOPLE AROUND THEM," SAYS BGLSA CO-CHAIR RACHEL E. COHEN '94. SHE IS "NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT POLICY."THE COLLEGE ULD ALSO HELP CREATE A GAY STUNT CENTER, SAY SMH AND STUNTS. THIS WOULD HELP FOSTER CLOSE TI BETWEEN GAY UNRGRADUAT, GRADUAT AND FACULTY, SAYS WARREN GOLDFARB '69, PROFSOR OF SOCLOGY.THE PRENCE OF OPENLY GAY ADMISTRATORS AND FACULTY ULD ALSO BE CREASED, SAYS THURSTON SMH, DIRECTOR OF HARVARD NETWORK FOR LBIAN, BISEXUAL AND GAY ISSU. SMH IS ALSO THE COLLEGE'S POT PERSON ON ISSU NCERNG SEXUAL ORIENTATN.ADVERTISEMENTAS FOR THE HO, GAY STUNTS SAY ADMISTRATORS AND HOE MASTERS N DO MORE TO IMPROVE THE COLLEGE'S TOLERANCE LEVEL.ONE IMPORTANT DITN OF OPENNS IS WELG GAY STUNT GROUPS' ACTIVI, THEY SAY. LOWELL HOE'S MASTERS, WHO JOED A S- THEIR DG HALL PROTT OF LAST YEAR'S SLURS, MA A STRONG STATEMENT OF SUPPORT, FRAZIER SAYS.IN ADDN, COHEN SAYS SHE WOULD LIKE MORE FOMS AND NVERSATNS ON GAY ISSU TO BE PRENTED, PECIALLY TO FIRST-YEARS.ALTHOUGH FEW EM THEM TOTALLY AQUATE, THE COLLEGE'S PRENT EFFORTS FORM A GOOD FOUNDATN, STUNTS SAY.GROUPS LIKE CONTACT, WHICH IS A SUPPORT GROUP MOSTLY AIMED AT GAY AND BISEXUAL STUNTS, AND A NEW UNSELG SSN TO ADDRS THE ISSUE OF G OUT--SPONSORED BY UNIVERSY HEALTH SERVIC--ARE STEPS THE RIGHT DIRECTN, THEY SAY.COLLEGE OFFICIALS SAY THAT ALTHOUGH GAY STUNTS WANT MORE DONE, HARVARD IS MTED TO TABLISHG AN ENVIRONMENT FORTABLE FOR GAYS."I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT I THK THE COLLEGE HAS ATTEMPTED TO CREATE A TOLERANT ENVIRONMENT, WHERE PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO BE NCERNED ABOUT THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATN," SAYS DEAN OF STUNTS ARCHIE C.

SO IF I MAY BE GRANTED A DIGRSN I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT MY UNRGRADUATE STUTN AND BEG GAY GENERAL.A FN OF "GAY" SEEMS TO BE THE MOST A PROPOSE TRODUCTN. TO ME "HOMOSEXUAL" CLEARLY REFERS TO ONE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCE, BUT "GAY" ENPASS MUCH MORE THAN THIS. TO BE "GAY" IS TO FER A MUCH BROAR SOCIAL NTEXT THAN THAT OF THE SEXUAL PARTNER ALONE. IT IS A LIFTYLE: ONE'S PRIMARY SOCIAL INTIFITN AND SPHERE OF TERACTN IS WH MEMBERS OF ONE'S OWN SEX AND NSEQUENTLY, ONE'S EMOTNAL INTIFITN IS WH THAT SPHERE AS WELL. WHAT THIS MEANS THEN IS THAT A WOMAN NEED NEVER TO HAVE HAD SEX WH ANOTHER WOMAN TO BE GAY, OR THAT A WOMAN WHO HAS HAD A SEXUAL EXPERIENCE WH ANOTHER WOMAN IS NOT TOMATILLY GAY. BEE I KNOW THAT I AM ONLY SENDARILY A SEXUAL BEG, I PREFER HIS FN TO THE UAL FN OF GAY, WHICH RC ME TO AN UNNTROLLABLE SEXUAL BEASTIE, AND NEVER A SCHOLAR.WHICH BRGS YOU AND ME HEADLONG TO ONE OF MY FIRST ENUNTERS WH HARVARD. IT NSISTED OF A PERSONAL OPN OF A MEMBER OF THE ADMISSNS COMMTEE PRTED THE INPENNT, SAYG THAT HOMOSEXUALY WAS A THREAT TO HARVARD AND THAT THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER QUALIFIED NDIDAT THAT ULD BE ADMTED TO THE LLEGE STEAD. AFTER READG THIS I PUT DOWN THE TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS OF ARTICL I HAD WRTEN BEG ACCEPTED FOR PUBLITN, BEAT MY BREAST, AND CHASED THREE "CLIFFI" DOWN THE STREET. IT WAS REASSURG TO KNOW THAT THE TECHNIQU I HAD VELOPED AT MY VERY SOUTHERN UNRGRADUATE SCHOOL FOR BEG A NOT-SO-SUBTLE HOMOSEXUAL WOULD BE EQUALLY APPLIBLE AT THE NATN'S OLST LLEGE, AND MY OLST DREAM.AS I HAVE DITED, MY UNRGRADUATE WORK WAS RRIED OUT THE SOUTH. DPE YOUR OPN OF WHAT VALU ARE NEAR AND AR TO THOSE FOLKS, THE GAY MUNY WAS VERY LARGE, VERY OPEN AND NSISTED PRIMARILY OF WOMEN. I WOULD TIMATE THAT THERE WERE CLOSE TO 60 WOMEN, ACTIVE TRAMURALS, ELOGY, WOMEN'S HEALTH, ART, ABORTN AND RAPE UNSELG, A NEWSPAPER AND A FARM. PERHAPS, THEN, YOU N IMAGE MY SURPRISE AND DISAPPOTMENT AT THE FEW WOMEN WHO ATTEND THE MIT GAY DANCE OR THE HARVARD-RADCLIFFE GAY STUNTS ASSOCIATN MEETGS.MY DISAPPOTMENT DISSIPATED AT THE WOMEN'S MIC FTIVAL WHERE, AS FAR AS I ULD TELL, THERE WERE 600 GAY WOMEN--WOMEN WHO HAD LEARNED TO "LIKE" WOMEN AND TO RPECT THE WORK OF OTHER WOMEN. YOU N BE HOMOSEXUAL AND NOT HAVE THOSE FEELGS BUT YOU NNOT BE "GAY" AND NOT HAVE THOSE FEELGS FOR THE WOMEN AROUND YOU. THE TERM "DYKE," NSEQUENTLY, IRRAT ME TO NO END. THIS TERM IS PRIMARILY ED BY WOMEN REFERG TO EACH OTHER AND IS AS ROGATORY TO ME AS "CHICK" HAS BEE TO A GOOD MANY WOMEN. MY FIRST VIS TO A GAY BAR BOSTON, THE SATS, WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE BARTENR ASKG A IEND OF ME WHO HAD E NORTH WH ME, IF SHE WAS A DYKE, A TERM NEVER HEARD MY LLEGE TOWN. WE WERE BOTH SPEECHLS, WHICH THE WOMAN WHO HAD ASKED THE QUTN TOOK TO DITE IGNORANCE AND SHE PROMPTLY REPHRASED WH "GAY," BRGG BOTH BACK TO EARTH.IN SPE OF WHAT MAY SEEM TO READ AS DISAPPOTMENT, I HAVE BEEN IMPRSED WH THE SUPPORTIVE NATURE OF THE GAY LIFTYLE NEW ENGLAND. I NNOT BEG TO NAME EVEN A FOURTH OF THE RAP GROUPS, NEWSPAPERS, ANIZATNS, SERVICE CENTERS (HEALTH CENTERS, UNSELG FACILI, ETC., ALL YOU PERVERTED STRAIGHT PEOPLE) SO ON AND SO ON, THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO SEEK SUCH SERVIC. IT APPEARS THAT GAY WOMEN ARE TO BE FOUND AT THE WOMEN'S ACTIVI THE AREA, AND I KNOW GAY MEN ABOUND AT THE DANC AND BARS TOWN.BEFORE CLOSG, I WOULD LIKE TO DO WHAT DAMAGE I ULD TO TWO MYTHOLOGIL BELIEFS ABOUT GAY PEOPLE. ONE IS THAT YOUR HETEROSEXUAL BODY WILL BE ATTACKED BY THE CRAZED HOMOSEXUAL IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HIS PRENCE. YOUR BODY WILL BE CLOSER TO SACROSANCT. THE OTHER MYTH IS THAT BETIFUL WOMEN OR HANDSOME MEN ARE NEVER HOMOSEXUAL OR GAY. THIS IS NOT ONLY FALSE BUT IMPLI THAT THERE IS A GEIC TERMATN BEHD HOMOSEXUALY, AN ASSUMPTN EQUALLY AS FALSE. IF THE REAR N PUT THE TWO MYTHS BEHD HER/HIM AND ALL OF THE OTHERS AS WELL, SHE/HE MAY LEARN THAT WE N BE DAMN GOOD MOTHERS, FATHERS, SOCIAL SCIENTISTS, LAWYERS, IENDS, ETC., ETC.CHERYL MAECLELLAND IS A PSDONYM FOR A STUNT THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND {FONT-SIZE:16.5PX;LE-HEIGHT:26PX;BOX-SIZG:NTENT-BOX;MAX-WIDTH:600PX;PADDG:0PX 20PX;MARG:0PX TO;MARG:1EM TO;} A{LOR:#7B1B18;}WANT TO KEEP UP WH BREAKG NEWS?

"TOO OFTEN AT HARVARD, GAY ISSU ARE EQUATED WH LIBERAL OR RADIL ISSU," DOUGHERTY SAYS. "WE HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT VIEWPOTS--THERE IS NO ONE GAY AGENDA."IN A POPULATN TIMATED AT 600, GAY STUNTS SAY, THERE N BE NO SGLE PERSONALY OR WAY OF LIVG--A FACT THEY SAY PEOPLE IGNORANT OF HARVARD'S GAY POPULATN OFTEN DO NOT NSIR OR REALIZE.THERE EXISTS A LARGE NUMBER OF GAY STUNTS WHO HAVE NOT CLARED THEMSELV PUBLICLY GAY, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "G OUT OF THE CLOSET." NO ONE KNOWS HOW LARGE THIS GROUP IS, BUT SOME BELIEVE ULD BE THE MAJORY OF HARVARD'S GAY STUNTS.STUNTS WHO DO CI TO E OUT AT HARVARD N DRAW ON A LARGE WORK OF SUPPORT GROUPS. THE MOST PROMENT STUNT ANIZATN FOR BISEXUAL, GAY AND LBIAN STUNTS IS THE BGLSA, WHICH FUNCTNS BOTH AS A SOCIAL AND POLIL ANIZATN."BEE 'S THE MA ANIZATN FOR BISEXUALS, GAYS AND LBIANS, WE HAVE TO BE A SOCIAL ANIZATN," SAYS BGLSA -CHAIR JOHN A.

THE GROUP HOLDS WEEKLY MEETGS AND SPONSORS DANC EVERY MONTH.HOWEVER, OTHERS SAY MANY STUNTS HAVE LTLE TO DO WH --SOCIALLY OR POLILLY. ANOTHER GAY POPULATN, ONE WHICH TENDS TO REMA STRICTLY TO SELF, CENTERS AROUND ANIZATNS LIKE THE HASTY PUDDG, SOME FAL CLUBS AND CERTA SGG GROUPS, ACRDG TO TIMOTHY M. HALL '93, AN HQ EDOR.SUCH STUNTS "TEND TO BE NSERVATIVE, SOCIABLE AND CLOSETTED," SAYS HALL. IN ADDN, THIS GAY POPULATN TENDS TO REMA STRICTLY TO SELF, HE SAYS."THEY DON'T WRE LETTERS TO THE CRIMSON SAYG 'I'M GAY AND YOU'VE OFFEND ME,' THEY DON'T GO TO RALLI, THEY DON'T GO TO BGLSA MEETGS," BCH SAYS.ADVERTISEMENTANOTHER SOCIAL LOC FOR THE LBIANS AND BISEXUAL WOMEN STUNT POPULATN IS SUPPLIED BY ACTIVI SUCH AS WOMEN'S DISCSN GROUP 7TH SENSE AND THE FEMIST MAGAZE THE RAG."POLILLY, [GAY MEN AND WOMEN] ARE A SOME-WHAT HIVE GROUP," SAYS BGLSA CO-CHAIR SEASON N. RAY '93-94. "[BUT] SOCIALLY WOMEN ARE PRETTY SEPARATE OM MEN....I THK A LOT OF OUT WOMEN HANG OUT TOGETHER."THE -OPS ARE A PART OF OF GAY SOCIAL LIFE AS WELL. STUNTS SAY THE POPULATN OF GAY AND BISEXUAL WOMEN IS PECIALLY STRONG AT THE DUDLEY -OPS, ALTHOUGH ONE WOMAN RINT SAYS THAT SUCH PERCEPTNS ARE NOT AS TE NOW AS THEY WERE LAST YEAR. THEY SUPPLY A IENDLY ATMOSPHERE BUT ARE NOT A "ROLICKG SCENE," SAYS RAY.GAY, LBIAN AND BISEXUAL STUNTS WHO EQUENT GAY BARS AND CLUBS ARE ANOTHER SUBGROUP OF THE GAY MUNY.

THEY FACE ISSU THAT ARE UNIQUE. FOR STANCE, BISEXUALS ARE OFTEN BLAMED FOR THE SPREAD OF AIDS, RAY SAYS.BISEXUALS ARE ALSO PERCEIVED AS LS THREATENG BY THE STRAIGHT MUNY, SAYS RAY. THIS MAY BE WHY, WH THE GAY MUNY, SOME BISEXUALS ARE "ASKED TO PROVE THEIR QUEERNS MORE," SHE SAYS.DPE ALL OF THE PERCEIVED CLIQU, GAY STUNTS STRS THAT NO GENERALIZATN N VER THE SOCIAL LIFE OF A GAY POPULATN WHICH IS AS DIVERSE AS HARVARD'S STRAIGHT MUNY.AS WH STRAIGHT STUNTS, GAY RELATNSHIPS RANGE OM LONG-TERM TO BRIEF ONE-NIGHT STANDS, SAY GAY UNRGRADUAT.

DUNN '93, WHO IS PRINT OF THE HARVARD DEMOCRATS.ADVERTISEMENT"IN ONE SENSE, I'M PART OF A GAY SOCIAL LIFE, BUT ANOTHER SENSE I'M NOT PART OF AT ALL," SAYS JOEL L.

COHEN '94. SHE IS "NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT POLICY."THE COLLEGE ULD ALSO HELP CREATE A GAY STUNT CENTER, SAY SMH AND STUNTS. THIS WOULD HELP FOSTER CLOSE TI BETWEEN GAY UNRGRADUAT, GRADUAT AND FACULTY, SAYS WARREN GOLDFARB '69, PROFSOR OF SOCLOGY.THE PRENCE OF OPENLY GAY ADMISTRATORS AND FACULTY ULD ALSO BE CREASED, SAYS THURSTON SMH, DIRECTOR OF HARVARD NETWORK FOR LBIAN, BISEXUAL AND GAY ISSU.

SO IF I MAY BE GRANTED A DIGRSN I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT MY UNRGRADUATE STUTN AND BEG GAY GENERAL.A FN OF "GAY" SEEMS TO BE THE MOST A PROPOSE TRODUCTN. TO ME "HOMOSEXUAL" CLEARLY REFERS TO ONE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCE, BUT "GAY" ENPASS MUCH MORE THAN THIS. TO BE "GAY" IS TO FER A MUCH BROAR SOCIAL NTEXT THAN THAT OF THE SEXUAL PARTNER ALONE. IT IS A LIFTYLE: ONE'S PRIMARY SOCIAL INTIFITN AND SPHERE OF TERACTN IS WH MEMBERS OF ONE'S OWN SEX AND NSEQUENTLY, ONE'S EMOTNAL INTIFITN IS WH THAT SPHERE AS WELL. WHAT THIS MEANS THEN IS THAT A WOMAN NEED NEVER TO HAVE HAD SEX WH ANOTHER WOMAN TO BE GAY, OR THAT A WOMAN WHO HAS HAD A SEXUAL EXPERIENCE WH ANOTHER WOMAN IS NOT TOMATILLY GAY. BEE I KNOW THAT I AM ONLY SENDARILY A SEXUAL BEG, I PREFER HIS FN TO THE UAL FN OF GAY, WHICH RC ME TO AN UNNTROLLABLE SEXUAL BEASTIE, AND NEVER A SCHOLAR.WHICH BRGS YOU AND ME HEADLONG TO ONE OF MY FIRST ENUNTERS WH HARVARD. IT NSISTED OF A PERSONAL OPN OF A MEMBER OF THE ADMISSNS COMMTEE PRTED THE INPENNT, SAYG THAT HOMOSEXUALY WAS A THREAT TO HARVARD AND THAT THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER QUALIFIED NDIDAT THAT ULD BE ADMTED TO THE LLEGE STEAD. AFTER READG THIS I PUT DOWN THE TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS OF ARTICL I HAD WRTEN BEG ACCEPTED FOR PUBLITN, BEAT MY BREAST, AND CHASED THREE "CLIFFI" DOWN THE STREET. IT WAS REASSURG TO KNOW THAT THE TECHNIQU I HAD VELOPED AT MY VERY SOUTHERN UNRGRADUATE SCHOOL FOR BEG A NOT-SO-SUBTLE HOMOSEXUAL WOULD BE EQUALLY APPLIBLE AT THE NATN'S OLST LLEGE, AND MY OLST DREAM.AS I HAVE DITED, MY UNRGRADUATE WORK WAS RRIED OUT THE SOUTH. DPE YOUR OPN OF WHAT VALU ARE NEAR AND AR TO THOSE FOLKS, THE GAY MUNY WAS VERY LARGE, VERY OPEN AND NSISTED PRIMARILY OF WOMEN. I WOULD TIMATE THAT THERE WERE CLOSE TO 60 WOMEN, ACTIVE TRAMURALS, ELOGY, WOMEN'S HEALTH, ART, ABORTN AND RAPE UNSELG, A NEWSPAPER AND A FARM. PERHAPS, THEN, YOU N IMAGE MY SURPRISE AND DISAPPOTMENT AT THE FEW WOMEN WHO ATTEND THE MIT GAY DANCE OR THE HARVARD-RADCLIFFE GAY STUNTS ASSOCIATN MEETGS.MY DISAPPOTMENT DISSIPATED AT THE WOMEN'S MIC FTIVAL WHERE, AS FAR AS I ULD TELL, THERE WERE 600 GAY WOMEN--WOMEN WHO HAD LEARNED TO "LIKE" WOMEN AND TO RPECT THE WORK OF OTHER WOMEN. YOU N BE HOMOSEXUAL AND NOT HAVE THOSE FEELGS BUT YOU NNOT BE "GAY" AND NOT HAVE THOSE FEELGS FOR THE WOMEN AROUND YOU. THE TERM "DYKE," NSEQUENTLY, IRRAT ME TO NO END. THIS TERM IS PRIMARILY ED BY WOMEN REFERG TO EACH OTHER AND IS AS ROGATORY TO ME AS "CHICK" HAS BEE TO A GOOD MANY WOMEN. MY FIRST VIS TO A GAY BAR BOSTON, THE SATS, WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE BARTENR ASKG A IEND OF ME WHO HAD E NORTH WH ME, IF SHE WAS A DYKE, A TERM NEVER HEARD MY LLEGE TOWN. WE WERE BOTH SPEECHLS, WHICH THE WOMAN WHO HAD ASKED THE QUTN TOOK TO DITE IGNORANCE AND SHE PROMPTLY REPHRASED WH "GAY," BRGG BOTH BACK TO EARTH.IN SPE OF WHAT MAY SEEM TO READ AS DISAPPOTMENT, I HAVE BEEN IMPRSED WH THE SUPPORTIVE NATURE OF THE GAY LIFTYLE NEW ENGLAND. I NNOT BEG TO NAME EVEN A FOURTH OF THE RAP GROUPS, NEWSPAPERS, ANIZATNS, SERVICE CENTERS (HEALTH CENTERS, UNSELG FACILI, ETC., ALL YOU PERVERTED STRAIGHT PEOPLE) SO ON AND SO ON, THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO SEEK SUCH SERVIC. IT APPEARS THAT GAY WOMEN ARE TO BE FOUND AT THE WOMEN'S ACTIVI THE AREA, AND I KNOW GAY MEN ABOUND AT THE DANC AND BARS TOWN.BEFORE CLOSG, I WOULD LIKE TO DO WHAT DAMAGE I ULD TO TWO MYTHOLOGIL BELIEFS ABOUT GAY PEOPLE. ONE IS THAT YOUR HETEROSEXUAL BODY WILL BE ATTACKED BY THE CRAZED HOMOSEXUAL IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HIS PRENCE. YOUR BODY WILL BE CLOSER TO SACROSANCT. THE OTHER MYTH IS THAT BETIFUL WOMEN OR HANDSOME MEN ARE NEVER HOMOSEXUAL OR GAY. THIS IS NOT ONLY FALSE BUT IMPLI THAT THERE IS A GEIC TERMATN BEHD HOMOSEXUALY, AN ASSUMPTN EQUALLY AS FALSE. IF THE REAR N PUT THE TWO MYTHS BEHD HER/HIM AND ALL OF THE OTHERS AS WELL, SHE/HE MAY LEARN THAT WE N BE DAMN GOOD MOTHERS, FATHERS, SOCIAL SCIENTISTS, LAWYERS, IENDS, ETC., ETC.CHERYL MAECLELLAND IS A PSDONYM FOR A STUNT THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND {FONT-SIZE:16.5PX;LE-HEIGHT:26PX;BOX-SIZG:NTENT-BOX;MAX-WIDTH:600PX;PADDG:0PX 20PX;MARG:0PX TO;MARG:1EM TO;} A{LOR:#7B1B18;}WANT TO KEEP UP WH BREAKG NEWS?

THEY ANIZED A NFERENCE LLED “FIGHTG THE (Q)ARCERAL STATE,” WHICH FOCED ON THE POUND VLENCE QUEER PEOPLE FACE THE PRISON SYSTEM.“FOR ALL OF , THE POLICE STATE IS HARMFUL,” DANGARAN SAYS. “BUT FOR QUEER PEOPLE AND TRANS PEOPLE, SPECIFILLY, IS JT SO MUCH MORE HARMFUL.”DANGARAN’S OTHER PROJECTS ON THE LAMBDA BOARD CLU BUILDG AN ADVOCY WORK FOR SEX WORKERS, AIDG PEOPLE WH NAME CHANGE SERVIC CAMBRIDGE, AND LOBBYG AGAST THE TMP ADMISTRATN’S TRANSGENR ARY BAN.ADVERTISEMENT“I REMEMBER GOG REALLY EARLY BEFORE CLASS STARTED,” DANGARAN SAYS. “AND JT WRG ON EVERY SGLE WHEBOARD THE MA BUILDG, ‘TRANS LIV MATTER.’”THOUGH DANGARAN HAD DOUBTS ABOUT THE GROUP’S LACK OF TERSECTNALY, LAMBDA PROVED TO BE WILLG TO ADAPT AND SERVED AS A POWERFUL PLATFORM. “IT WAS VERY EASY FOR ME TO DO THE WORK THAT I WANTED TO DO LAMBDA, AND THE ANIZATN WAS SUPPORTIVE OF MY PRISON ABOLNIST AND TRANS TERTS,” THEY SAY. “LAMBDA WAS READY AND WILLG TO MAKE NECSARY CHANGE.”DANGARAN ALSO CREDS LAMBDA WH HELPG THEM FD THEIR SPECIFIC TERTS THE VAST FIELD OF CIVIL RIGHTS ADVOCY. “I DO THK THAT LAMBDA HELPED ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANT TO DO,” THEY SAY. NOW, THEY WORK AS A LIGATOR PROTECTG THE RIGHTS OF TRANS PEOPLE HELD TENTN CENTERS, PURSUG THE TERT PRISON ABOLN THAT THEY FIRST CULTIVATED LAW SCHOOL.DANGARAN ADMS THAT ULTIMATELY, THEY WERE PUT OFF BY WHAT THEY SAW AS ERTIA OM OTHER MEMBERS. “YOUR VOLVEMENT LAMBDA ULD LERALLY BE SHOWG UP AND HANGG OUT AND LISTENG TO PEOPLE TALK AND NEVER DOG ANYTHG ON YOUR OWN,” THEY SAY. “IT DIDN’T FEEL LIKE THE RIGHT ANIZG SPACE FOR ME BEE PEOPLE WEREN’T ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT WHAT WAS GOG TO BE.”ASHOUR EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL EVENTS WHILE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGG THAT SOCIAL EVENTS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLIVE WH POLIL ADVOCY. “FOR , LAMBDA SHOULD BE A PLACE FOR BOTH THOSE WHO JO WH THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF HAVG A MUNY AND FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO ADVOTE FOR CERTA ISSU,” SAYS ASHOUR. “BOTH ARE EQUALLY WELE THE MUNY.”***WHILE COGLI’S HISTORY BEGS 1978, THE HISTORY OF THE LGBTQ+ MUNY AT HARVARD LAW SCHOOL STRETCH BACK FARTHER THAN WE N KNOW. TO IMMORTALIZE THE VOIC OF THIS HISTORY, GEOFEY C. UPTON, WHO GRADUATED OM HLS 2003, PILED AN ORAL HISTORY OF LGBTQ+ STUNTS AT THE STUTN. HE TERVIEWED ALUMNI OM AS EARLY AS THE 1940S. MORE HISTORY DOUBTLSLY EXISTS BEFORE THEN AS WELL — VOIC ABSENT OM THE ARCHIV.EVEN THE ’70S, KRCHEVSKY WAS AWARE OF HER PLACE A LONG HISTORY THAT SPIRALS OUT BEFORE AND AFTER HER. SHE TELLS ABOUT A NVERSATN SHE HAD WH A CLOSETED LIBRARIAN WHO WORKED AT A CATHOLIC UNIVERSY, ABOUT 40 YEARS HER SENR, WHOM SHE MET AT A PROTT WASHGTON D.C. “SHE WAS LIKE, ‘OH, THGS ARE SO GOOD FOR YOU,’ AND AT THE TIME, I THK WAS TE,” KRCHEVSKY SAYS. “THGS WERE SO OPEN PARED TO WHAT THEY WERE FOR HER.”DPE THIS PROGRS, THE FIGHT FOR LGBTQ+ RIGHTS IS BY NO MEANS LEAR. FIFTY YEARS LATER, WE ARE LIVG A TIME WHERE WE NTUE TO SEE NEW BANS ON GENR-AFFIRMG HEALTHRE, THE TRODUCTN OF ‘DON’T SAY GAY’ BILLS, AND A RISG NUMBER OF ANTI-LGBTQ+ HATE CRIM.

The bonds between profsors and stunts were what one gay profsor would later ll “homosocial”; as other all-male settgs, such as the ary, the bonds enabled and mataed a domant masculy, yet were lan wh sexual suggtn. Ined, while homosexualy may seldom if ever have been spoken about, the Law School was pervad by a tensn between men that for some profsors and stunts was likely an embodiment of, or a thly-veiled substute for, pent-up sexual energy.

For some profsors, this sexual energy may have been ls veiled than was for others; the ’50s and ‘60s, for example, stunts both gay and straight thought cur that two profsors were roommat, even though they were both olr men. Eventually, startg the 1950’s, as gays and lbians began to slowly velop a social and polil inty and to form groups like the Mattache Society, beme possible for the gay stunts of Harvard Law School to abandon, or at least to dwell ls on, their hop of turng straight.
