Letter To The Editor
As everybody should know by now, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2001 was National Coming Out Day. Events at UB included a drag show and gay/lesbian pride messages scrawled in chalk across campus. Criticism of this event takes two common tracks. Both miss the point. The first is that the chalk is silly, ugly or offensive. These people need to read the Bill of Rights. The other is from those that say, "I don't want my SA dollars used to fund a drag show." These people need to understand that all you need to start a club is five to 10 students and faculty advisor. What everyone misses is the double standard argument track.
