When members of BGLTSA met to make posters for National Coming out Day in October, over 30 students showed up in the Adams House small dining room, armed with glue sticks, construction paper, and magazine clippings.

One of the resulting posters asked students whether they had "ever tasted their own menstrual fluid," and another noted that "every tenth Jesus is gay."

Although the most controversial posters were made by a small minority of those present, BGLTSA drew protests that eventually led to the creation of a new gay social group, Beyond Our Normal Difference (BOND), which eschews political issues.

Last Thursday, six months after the poster controversy, BGLTSA met to make posters for Gay Pride Month. This time, only six students, and less than half of the organization's executive board, showed up.

Tomorrow, their posters will be plastered around campus, and the Harvard community at large will be aware of "Gaypril" largely through the lens of the six students present in the Adams small dining hall Saturday night.

"[BGLTSA] always has the same 10 people doing the posters, and these people have similar ideas about how these issues should be selected," says Jim C. Augustine '01.

But despite its small active membership, BGLTSA remains the most prominent voice of gay students on campus.

For example, there have been 49 references to the organization in The Crimson in the past year alone.
