...rally planned for yesterday by the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance in response to recent homophobic graffiti in the Houses was postponed until next Thursday due to bad weather...
...greatest injustice against Harvard's homosexuals and their supporters is not being perpetrated by anonymous homophobes scribbling cowardly threats, but by the great lie known as the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance (BGLTSA).

That's what bothers me--not being excluded in a straight world but being secluded in a gay one. I can be a minority, but I don't know how to a minority within a minority...
