"The forum is a place to talk about the negative forces that exist for gay people at Harvard," said Jake Stevens '86, head of the Gay and Lesbian Students Association (GLSA), which sponsored the day
Stevens and other participants said that many students at Harvard have not accepted gays into the community. They cited as an example the pulling down of signs around campus advertising the day's activities.
"The publicity is more important than the actual event," said Stevens. "Even if they don't attend, they will still have to think about it."
But the situation may be getting worse, "bigotry is not uncommon, but that doesn't make it any easier to wake up to a burning cross in your front yard," said Stevens, in the Mather newsletter.
The posters--some of which advertise gay tables and say "someone you care about is gay"--have been repeatedly put up, removed, and defaced with obscenities in recent weeks, Stevens said.
