...closeted gay people there were a lot of gay people out here." Flaherty says. It also clued in non-gays to the sheer number of gays on campus. And, as many students suddenly became aware that their friends were gay, they were less cavalier about telling what Schatz calls "fag jokes." After GLAD Day, GOOD organizers could go into dining halls and announce a gay rights event without having to confront 100 mocking faces or duck missiles of cafeteria food.
