Gay Morning Star Newsletter

Title:

Gay Morning Star Newsletter

Description:

The Duke Gay Alliance, one of the earliest organizations for queer students at Duke, published the Gay Morning Star once a semester, sharing essays, news, and poetry. Chairman Tom Benson wrote in the 1974 edition that “[w]e need a greater sense of the joyousness that comes in working together among those involved in a uniquely personal, yet collective revolution; an affirmation of love and sexual expression between members of the same, as well as the opposite, gender.”
