Harvard 'Pride' Expands From Week to Month
Harvard Crimson ^ | April 21, 2014 | QUYNH-NHU LE and JOANNA R. SCHACTER

The Office of BGLTQ Student Life, in partnership with other campus organizations, has expanded Harvard’s Pride Week into Pride Month in order to increase its thematic scope and impact on students.

Throughout the month of April, the Office of BGLTQ Student Life has facilitated an event series, entitled Harvard Pride ’14, centered on queer issues and student life. Campus organizations—including Queer Students and Allies, the queer Jewish student group BAGELS, and the Committee on Degrees in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality—organized and sponsored individual events.

“We found that only providing programming in a week limited the opportunities for students to engage in community,” Director of the Office of BGLTQ Student Life Vanidy “Van” Bailey wrote in an email, adding that a single week limited the range of topics discussed.

According to Bailey, this sentiment led to the decision by the Office of BGLTQ Student Life to increase both the duration of Pride ’14 and the number of campus organizations it partnered with for Pride Month’s programming.

“Students being at the center of the work is key to my vision as the director and empowering the community to collaborate in that vision is critical,” Bailey wrote. “[The Office of BGLTQ Student Life] facilitated a collaborative program planning process that involved students, staff, faculty, prospective students, and [alumni].”

In this vein,“Get Wet: An Orgasm Seminar,” an event on Saturday which featured discussions on vaginal orgasms and free sex toys, was part of both Harvard Pride ’14 and Sex Weekend. The latter is a series of events about sex organized by the student group Sexual Health Education and Advocacy Throughout Harvard College as a spring preview to Sex Week in the fall.

Imagine that! Now, if I were black, I’d be thinking something nefarious is going on up in here. A whole month? That’s the same as Black History, heck, it’s more because we/they only get 29 days!

One would think that GLGBQT’s importance is surpassing the importance of blacks and their 400 years of slavery.

Yes, I think I would be pi$$ed.

I’ve just reduced it from a month to five minutes.

After all, I’ve got just as much authority as they.

I’m sure it will be expanded even further—just like blak(anything) months.

The acronym gets bigger still.
Is queer what the Q stands for?

Raisa Gorbachov was a tenured PHD in Marxist studies. I used to laugh about the useless people in Academia but I came to realize that they were deadly serious all the time.

The few remaining fucntioning enterprises that actually build and export things for sale to real customers here and overseas have already been hijacked by the HR Mafia.

The HR Mafia is homosexual, atheist, and inter-connected. The are the gate for employment and you must pass the test. If you are an independent thinker, if you believe in doing the right thing for the right reason and if you require it all the time for subordinates and superiors you are already either dead or targeted for elimination as soon as possible.

We are all racist, homophobic, islamo-phobic, and most dangerous of all, we are of those who are willing to die to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic That makes us all domestic terrorists.

When the queers come for us, arresting as for hate-thought, and parking us into camps for treatment and punishment, we will or will not resist.

The queers are mobilizing—ask any CEO what he fears most. It is not bad business models, economic instability, financial collapse or bankruptcy. What they fear most are the HR queers. The queers have already won and they are lusting for non-compliant scalps, from entry level up to the CEO of the company.

We will comply or we will die. That is the stark choice the HR Queer Mafia offers.

Or not. Depends on whom they choose to target.

I get the sense that not enough people gave a rats a$$ for just a week so they will stay in the “community”’s face for a month....

Not even "Decadent Decade", "Sinful Century", or "Malevolent Millennium" will satisfy the sodomites.

Time to put faggotry back into the closet. Or better yet honor God's law.

Isn’t it funny how they have to call what should be shameful “Pride”?

The louder this crowd screams, the less anyone pays attention to them.
