...Quiet, a best-dressed contest, and Latin dance lessons. Tickets are $8 from the Harvard Box Office. Saturday Put on your favorite party dress (if you’re a boy) and head over to BGLTSA’s Drag Night Karaoke, one of the hottest events in Gaypril. 8 p.m. in Adams. Afterwards, get “housed” for those who can’t at Harvard Habitat for Humanity’s dance/benefit in the Eliot Dining Hall. Your $5 will go towards the creation of one-hundred-thousandth of a house.

Kelly ’05, who organized seven of the nearly 40 BGLTSA events held during “Gaypril,” says he arranged the introductory workshop to demystify sadomasochism—known to insiders as SM, not S&M—to a beginning audience, but Mark, in attendance, had his own agenda...
