Yesterday’s cloudy skies gave way to a rainbow as students celebrated National Coming Out Day. Members of Harvard’s Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters’ Alliance (BGLTSA) gathered in front of the Science Center, shouting “Happy Coming Out Day!” to show support for gay students and mark the 20th anniversary of the Second National March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. “It’s a celebration of being visible and being proud of what you are,” said former BGLTSA...

...books, and really great non-book items.” My first job was in one such diversified bookstore that sold local music and hummus-laden bagels alongside Rushdie and Stephen King. Opened by two aging hippies, the bookstore was a patchouli-scented downtown institution with walls buried under rainbow flags and Che Guevara posters. The store has survived thanks to its role as a watering hole for the local hippie community.
