Earlier this year, my blockmates and I each received a plastic baggie of condoms, dental dams, and other socially progressive articles.

One of my blockmates (all of them are heterosexual) quickly found an appropriate spot for the sticker: on the door of our oven...
CORRECTION The Feb. 27 news article "BGLTSA Hosts Domestic Violence Talk" contained several inaccuracies. It incorrectly stated that BGLTSA hosted an event with the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project last night addressing the issue of same-sex domestic violence.

The group is welcoming, inclusive, and respectful of diverse sexual and spiritual identities. Furthermore, it offers a support system for those trying to understand the way in which their sexuality relates to the Catholic faith.” A similar organization BAGELS, affiliated with Harvard Hillel, exists for Jewish students...
...acts, such as rape, or to the religious rituals practiced by opposing sects. Never does the Bible make any comment on the moral nature of a committed, loving homosexual relationship.” As Rooney demonstrates, there are ways to reconcile social and religious norms with sexual orientation, and BGLT students should begin this difficult but important process at Harvard, which offers some great resources and understanding peers with whom to share your experiences...
