In the November 17, 1988 issue of the Western Carolinian, Dawn Neatherly writes in Counselor's Corner "The facts about homosexuality." The article is in response to the fact that the student body did not show up for Lavender Bridges' information fair held on October 11, on Coming Out Day. Neatherly gives facts about several myths that those fearful of homosexuality often believe. Neatherly also provides the reader with several fiction and non-fiction books to read. 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.
