Description
This September 26, 1985 Western Carolinian letter to the editor by C. Mark Knecht in support of Lavender Bridges is in response to the previous week's columns by Robb Schrof and Billy Graham. 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.
