Wow, this was 15 years ago. I recall how bizarre I thought the outcry was. Today she'd be shouted down by
all creatures great and small. From BGLTSA to LGBHT (to preserve freshness).
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2005/3/2/pinkett-smiths-remarks-debated-after-some/After some students were offended by Jada Pinkett Smith’s comments at Saturday’s Cultural Rhythms show,
the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance (BGLTSA) and the Harvard Foundation for
Intercultural and Race Relations have begun working together to increase sensitivity toward issues of sexuality
at Harvard.
Students said that some of Pinkett Smith’s remarks concerning appropriate gender roles were specific to heterosexual relationships.
In a press release circulated yesterday by the BGLTSA—and developed in coordination with the Foundation—the BGLTSA
called for an apology from the Foundation and encouraged future discussion of the issue.
According to the Foundation’s Student Advisory Committee (SAC) Co-Chair Yannis M. Paulus ’05, the two groups
have already planned concrete ways to address the concerns that Pinkett Smith’s speech rose.
