This article by staff writer Christy Hicks in the October 10, 1996 Western Carolinian is titled "National Coming Out Day." The article explains that Coming Out Day is October 11 and commemorates the 1987 March on Washington for lesbian and gay rights and the inaugural visit of the AIDS quilt to the Capitol. The article talks about the process and difficulties of coming out and ends with the information about the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Association which meets on campus weekly. Founded in 1985, Lavender Bridges was the first organized group for lesbian and gay men on campus. The last mention of the group appeared in the October 10, 1991 issue of the Western Carolinian.
