"Last year there was much more opposition to the event."

I wore jeans last Friday in support of the gay community and their rights as individuals. After experiencing the attitude and prejudices of some of my fellow students, I wrote this sort of conglomerate of their opinions: "Phew! Am I glad "gay day" is over! Now I can put my good ole jeans on again.

Dear Wilde-Steiners, What is your problem anyway? Have you ever heard of learning from experience? The Wilde-Stein club survives very well in the UMO community.

If you claim: "We just want the freedom to be able to live our lives the way we want," fine...do that. We at UMO have not stopped you from being able to achieve this in the past.
