Loyola Group Stages Gay Awareness Day
- Share via
A student group at Loyola Marymount University has staged the Jesuit school’s first lesbian and gay awareness day--a major test for university policy toward the group, the Alliance of Gays and Lesbians.
The awareness day on the Westchester campus came two months after the alliance failed to win university recognition. The events late last week included readings by gay and lesbian poets, a panel discussion and an information fair.
The administration refused in February to give the alliance formal club status, but pledged to allow the group to use the university’s services. University authorities gave their consent to the awareness day and helped plan it.
