This bibliography, mostly made up of articles published in Yeshiva University student newspapers and magazines, attempts to capture the development of the LGBTQ discourse at Yeshiva University prior to the formation of the Yeshiva University Pride Alliance. Many of the articles linked here were only recently made available online through the YU library's project to digitize student publications on its new online repository, YAIR. More recent articles that were published after around 2012 can still be found on the student newspaper's websites, and are linked at the appropriate entries. Generally, articles that were published between 2000 and 2011 are only preserved in the YU Library's archive as paper copies with a few captured by the Wayback Machine. I transcribed the articles that are no longer online and republished them here.
The Bibliography is divided into two sections. The first and largest contains a mix of news and opinion articles that in some way address the broader topic of LGBTQ identity. Some of the articles directly engage with the topic, while others include mere references that imply a particular perspective. The second section is much smaller and contains all the relevant satirical articles published in the Purim editions of the student newspapers as well as the two relatively short lived satirical newspapers.
