...part of any radical political agenda." One wonders whether The Crimson remembersthe offensive onslaught of obscene and anti-religious posters that marked this October's "National Coming Out Day" celebration at Harvard, when coming out was given an undeniably political meaning. Radical gay activists, it seems, can plaster the Yard with profanity and pornography while avoiding a campus outcry--but when conservatives dare to poke gentle fun at this absurd display, we are accused of intolerance and hate-mongering...
