These October 2, 1986 letters to the editor included in the Western Carolinian are by David McCarty, in response to the September 18 interview with the founder of Lavender Bridges, and Mike Clark, operator of Cullowhee Quik-Stop, with concerns over why the paper includes Lavender Bridges advertisements. 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.
