The second annual GAYLA Week was celebrated at Wartburg with the theme ?It?s not just a gay thing!? The term ?GAYLA? indicates a grand event or a big celebration, like a gala. Highlights included a cabaret show called ?Drag in the City? featuring drag performers from across the Cedar Valley and Wartburg.
Eric Anderson, who is known as ?The Professor? from the hit reality television show ?The Real Gilligan?s Island., will speak tomorrow in the Lyceum. Anderson, assistant professor of education at the University of Bath in England, is well known for his lectures on issues like gender, homophobia and the relationship between gay male athletes and sports.
A discussion on spirituality and sexuality was also organized. The award-winning movie ?Brokeback Mountain? was shown as part of the Alliance film series.
