The Lambda chapter wants to protest Colorado's Amendment Two, an anti-gay bill.
The demonstration would take place near the Law School. The Lambda chapter promised a "peaceful gathering."
The City Councillors neither discussed nor voted on the request.
Harvard's Property
Reeves introduced discussion on tax-exempt status, saying that properties owned by universities within the city are continuing to grow in number.
Reeves criticized Harvard--as well as MIT and Lesley College--for buying property for questionably educational purposes. Buildings used for educational means are not subject to property taxes.
"We can't go on assuming everything the universities do is for truth and learning. Reeves said. "The conversion of property hurts the businesses in the short run and the homeowners in the long run."
Reeves said he wants the Council formally to discourage universities from purchasing more property.
"The universities must realize that for the city to thrive around them it needs a tax base," he said.
