Colleges/Universities

Marlboro College Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
Group

The Marlboro College Gay/Lesbian/
Bisexual Group, newly organized last Oc-
tober, is open for the college community in
two ways. Friday afternoon teas, with dis-
cussion of any and all issues concerning
homosexuals, bisexuals, or people unsure
of their sexual preference, are open to all
members of the college community, re-
gardless of sexual preference. Tuesday
evening meetings are closed to the public at
large to ensure the confidentiality of homo-
sexual and bisexual students. These meet-
ings serve as a resource for people unsure,
afraid, or not wishing to reveal their sexual
identity to the larger campus.

For more information contact The
Marlboro College Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
Group c/o Marlboro College, Marlboro,
VT 05344.

Middlebury Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
Alliance

Middlebury Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
Alliance (MGLBA) has, in the past, been
primarily a political and “out” organiza-
tion. This is still our primary focus, since
there is still much consciousness-raising to
be done at Middlebury College. We feel
that there is also a need to provide a “safe
place” where lesbians, gay men, bisexuals,

and those unsure of their sexual orientation-

can come and talk about issues ranging
from coming out to gay and lesbian history
and herstory. We hold regular business
meetings every other week, and discussion

meetings on the off weeks. MGBLA works
to show gay/lesbian/bisexual films twice
every school year, to bring speakers to
campus, and to sponsor special events re-
lating to the gay/lesbian/bisexual experi-
ence at Middlebury.

Contact MGBLA at Drawer 8, Mid-
dlebury College, Middlebury, VT 05753 or
(802) 388-3711.
