(Florence, Ala.) Three Equality Riders were arrested for trespassing today at Heritage Christian University. They were on campus to deliver letters describing their personal experiences and advocating for the safety and acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.
Prior to the arrests, an HCU administrator read a letter stating that the university was officially declining their request for dialogue.On Thursday, Equality Riders met with one student from HCU who described the climate on campus as a “homophobic panic.” He explained that students and staff were discouraged from speaking to members of the Equality Ride.
