This January 30, 1986 letter to the editor signed "Co-Chair, Lavender Bridges" addresses the front-page article in the Western Carolinian from January 23 titled "Addressing gay concerns: Lavender Bridges recognized." The author was misquoted in the article and wishes to set the record straight. Lavender Bridges, an anonymously founded student organization open to all individuals, aimed to promote awareness of lesbian and gay lifestyle, provide lesbian and gay resources, and increase communication with all students and community members. The first organizational meeting took place October 10, 1985 and was officially recognized by the office of Student Development on December 13, 1985. The last mention of the group appeared in the October 10, 1991 issue of the Western Carolinian.
