Item Beyond Dyke Bars(1980-06-04) Members of the Lesbian Community"We'd like to register an objection to the choice of play produced by the Bennington Drama Division. The objection is not against the production or the acting, which were excellent, but to the treatment of lesbianism. That lesbianism is even mentioned in the lines of a contemporary play shows some measure of progress, but we wonder why, in any straight film, play, or book that does mention it, lesbians are always portrayed as unattractive, perverted, sinister, and --the favorite--humorless. women Behind Bars shows lesbians as all these things and more: namely, that they would really prefer to be with men."
