Posters Appear Attacking Intolerance

Alexander A. Bon-Saenz '01, also a BOND founder, said he approved of the posters' message, especially in light of Muhammad's resignation and other homophobic vandalism that has occurred in river Houses this semester.

"We need acceptance, not just tolerance," he said. "The [posters'] message was very good and certainly timely."

Nancy E. Lima '02, co-chair of Girlspot and a member of the BGLTSA, said that the posters' slogans were "pretty moderate" considering the recent homophobic events.

"Still, they promoted really good stuff," she said. "It's good to see that Harvard is bridging the gap between gay and straight communities."

Michael A. Hill '02, co-chair of the BGLTSA, said he thought the posters were very effective.

"I think that they show some of the ignorance behind homophobia without being offensive," he wrote in an e-mail message. "The posters seem to be a powerful statement that homophobia is still here, that no one wins with homophobia."
