At Notre Dame, Gay Film Fest A First

[CShine]

Last year, the Princeton Review's annual survey of American colleges ranked the University of Notre Dame as the most unfriendly to homosexuals. This week, the school's Hesburgh Library is the site of the first ND Queer Film Festival.

"You have to understand what a breakthrough this is," said Richard Friedman, a fifth-year student participating in the event. "The university's administration had even barred gay groups from advertising in the student newspaper."

1. ND? I'm surprised.

BTW, what is the difference between a gay film and a straight film? Basically, what I'm asking is "What makes a film 'Gay'?"

Maybe some of our more erudite members could tell me.
