'Hatred and bigotry under the cloak of cowardice'
By M. Lee Pelton | February 21, 1995To the Dartmouth Community: On Thursday, Feb. 16, the undergraduate co-chair of the Dartmouth, Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Organization (DaGLO) received in the DaGLO Hinman box a flier announcing a meeting scheduled for Saturday evening, entitled "Let's Talk About Faggots." Included among several topics for discussion were "Is it OK to shoot gays?"

The purpose of this flier appears to have been to provoke and hurt members of the Dartmouth community through its overall invective tone and, especially, through its references to inflicting violence upon gay men and lesbians.
