Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 said last night that he is gay and spoke about being "a gay person of color" at a meeting of the Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Association.
Although Reeves said he has not kept his homosexuality a secret, he said he acknowledged he was gay for the first time to the press last Friday at an awards ceremony of the Boston Gay and Lesbian Political Alliance.
Reeves said he could not accept the "Friends of the Community Award"--which is given to heterosexuals sympathetic to gay issues--because "I am a real homosexual."
"It is really the emerging type of business. As manufacturing jobs move out of the Western Hemisphere, we are going to be involved much more in problem-solving," said Reeves.
"If the students of today do not become competent in math and science, we will be doing a tremendous disservice to them," Reeves said.
