Letter to the editor by Co-Chair of Lavender Bridges
No full textThis 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.Dear Mr. Editor,
I'd like to calf your attention to
the significance of language and
the importance of the use of
particular words to convey the
intended meanings of one person
(or group) to another. Specifically,
I refer to the article about Lavender
Bridges in your January 23 issue.
The only quotation in the
article was carefully planned and
the words were carefully selected
with the intention to convey clearly
that this orgainzation would NOT
address "specific concerns of
sexual orientation" more than
broader concerns affecting all
individuals in a society regardless
of one's sexuality. I am adamant
that if you are to quote an
individual (and in this particular
case you were able to copy from a
written quote) their specific
selection of words must be
considered and carefully
conveyed. On behalf of Lavender
Bridges, I will reiterate the specific
and correct quote that was
Western Carolinian

The WESTERN CAROLINIAN is published
weekly by the Publication Board of Western Carolina
University. It is an independent student publication
intended for the article:
"While Lavender Bridges
specifically addresses the
concerns of lesbian and gay
students, attendance is not a
reflection of sexual orientation. The
group wishes to extend an
invitation to any individual who is
interested in learning more about
the issues surrounding a lesbian or
gay lifestyle.
In addition, sexual orientation
is not the only area of one's lifestyle.
We assume labels only to begin
defining and clarifying for
ourselves and others who it is that
we really are. For gay people, this
mea ns eve n creati ng new words or
using old words for newer
concepts. We are no more strictly
sexual beings than bisexuals or
heterosexuals. What we are
though, has been overshadowed
by the labels which have been
used to create frightening myths
about us.
Sincerely,
Co-Chair, Lavender Bridge
