...This change in Lambda is a mixed blessing. It would be ungrateful to disregard the difficulties that spurred the action of earlier Lambda members and na??ve to be nostalgic for a period when being out was itself a struggle, but the decrease in activism has frustrated those of us who think there are important LGBT battles yet to be won. We recognize the value of building community and coming together for social activities. And we’d hate to see queer night at Daedalus disappear (see you on Thursdays)!

After giving the first presentation of the summer to our intern class, she loudly gabbed to a friend about the eager (read: brown-nosing and na??ve) young interns, realizing only moments later that I was sitting 10 feet away. When N.W. noticed me, she smiled disarmingly, introduced herself, shook my hand, and moved right on. She can be cloying when she wants but appears to have no problem being snippy.
