Gay sex can express love, be dignifiedRegarding 'Conservatives favor dignity in campus sexuality debate' (Wednesday, Oct.
Our local National Public Radio station recently replaced in the early Sunday morning hour its really good religious program ("Sound and Spirit") with a moderately good religious program ("Speaking of Faith"). Among the first segments broadcast was one featuring an extensive interview with an American Muslim apologist, Omid Safi, a professor at Colgate and the editor of a collection of essays entitled "Progressive Muslims." Professor Safi sounds like a most interesting and attractive fellow, spiritually imaginative and intellectually lithe, warm, humanistic.
Princeton is full of nerds, and there is nothing we can do about it. In fact, the University atmosphere seems to encourage it.
The 'Prince's' editorial board was correct; half the campus is in the closet on the issue of homosexuality.
Last Wednesday, three Americans were killed in the Gaza Strip in the first Palestinian terrorist attack specifically targeting American diplomats.
It always amuses me that someone can trace every evil of society to the Catholic Church. Joseph Barillari's editorial titled "Condoms and the Church: A Well-intentioned But Deadly Myth" should substitute the phrase "Safe Sex: A Well-intentioned But Deadly Myth."It is ridiculous to blame the Catholic Church's stance on birth control for today's HIV epidemic.
Banners bearing emblems, slogans and symbols of loyalty and belief. Angry, painted faces displaying the colors of one's side.
How appropriate. With reactionary pomp, the White House proclaimed last week "Marriage Protection Week," defining marriage exclusively as a "union between a man and a woman" and calling upon "the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies." Appropriately, the Pride Alliance and LGBT Student Services hosted Awareness Week, and the Princeton Queer Radicals sponsored a love-in at Frist.
We can stop the spread of HIV overnight. We can do it tonight, in fact. A complete, dead stop. Zero new infections.All we have to do is convince everyone to give up extramarital sex and injection drugs.Regrettably, it's undoubtedly harder to dissuade the peoples of the world from engaging in random acts of body-fluid-sharing than it is to invent and distribute vaccines to cure blood-borne infections.
Sexism! Instantly, women cock their pistols, men dive for cover and phrases like "70 cents to the dollar" and "female empowerment" come blazing forth like unchained Rottweilers.
Last week's silence signals improvementRegarding 'Closeted conservatism' (Monday, Oct.
Amidst the recent hullabaloo over Iraq, there was virtually no mention of a significant (and far from irrelevant) anniversary: July 27th marked fifty years since the end of the Korean War, a particularly brutal and messy conflict which pitched South Korea, the United States and a number of allies (including Britain, France, Turkey and even Colombia) against the armies of North Korea and communist China.
Autumn is the season of college admissions. Just as the leaves are sure to fall, so too are crowds of high school students sure to descend on campus, littering the walkways like the fallen foliage whose season they share.
As Gay Awareness Week unfolded on this campus last week, several guest writers, regular columnists and letters to the editor addressed important gay rights issues on this page; we published pieces on topics ranging from gay marriage to the Queer Radicals' "Love-In" to one writer's experience at the Toronto Pride Parade.The Opinion Board shares a very strong belief in the importance of gay rights.
I don't remember much about the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was a snow day; I was in my room, humming along to the radio, when my father came in to get me.
The book that most fascinated me last year was not by Plato or Machiavelli, but a big gilt-edged volume in a display case in Frist Campus Center.
Queer Radicals hosted 'Love-In' at FristRegarding 'All you need is love: LGBT has "Love In" at Frist' (Thursday, Oct.
Like Rodney Dangerfield, even at the height of his mid-eighties "Back to School" fame, Princeton grad students don't get no respect.
Ordinarily the advantages of not keeping an accurate calendar outweigh the disadvantages, but now and again one gets caught out badly.
Israeli, Palestinian comparison is wrongRegarding 'Letters to the editor' (Wednesday, Oct.
