Gay Pride
raises awareness
• A crowd of 300 attended
the professional female
impersonator show, and
other events were highly
attended.
Nat Gray
Staff Writer
On the heels of being recognized
as having one of the most visible
gay communities by the Princeton
Review, The Third Annual Guil
ford College Pride Week was ob
served Oct 25-31 with panel dis
cussions, provocative films and
female impersonators.
Pride Week was an event open
not only to the Guilford commu
nity, but to gay activists and advo
cates throughout the Triad. Orga
nizations such as Men of All Col
ors Together, Alternative Re
sources of the Triad (ART),
Tarheel Outdoor Sports fellow
ship, and White Rabbit bookstores
were on campus to support Pride
Week and raise awareness.
November 5,1993
"We wanted to do something to
represent the gay community as
much as possible and in a way that
was fun and informative," Kevin
Olive, chair of the Pride Week
committee said. "Pride Week is
not out to 'recruit' people; we care,
but don't concern ourselves with
what people say about us...it's our
week to be visible and celebrate,
and although we don't have to, we
try to educate."
Special events included the
showing of two films: "Tongues
Untied," which depicts the expe
rience of black male homosexuals,
and "Desert Hearts," a drama
about lesbians.
There was also a panel discus
sion in Dana Lounge on being in
the sexual minority and support
ing it. Speakers on the panel were
Olive, Guilford Psychology Pro
fessor Jeffrey Janowitz, Brad
Cheek, Joy Henson, Terrence
Laster, Shirin Lewis, Amy Lytle,
and Genevieve Compton.
