2007 Soulforce Equality Ride: BYU Video Blog

Equality Rider and BYU co-organizer Kourt Osborn speaks about his time during the events planned around the Brigham Young University campus.

After months of attempted communication to plan dialogue with faculty, students, and administrators on campus, BYU was uncooperative. Stop organizers compiled over 55 pages of concerns and grievances from current and former BYU students regarding the LGBT community at BYU. University officials refused to meet or receive and discuss these concerns.

regardless of how you feel...Civil Rights are for everyone!

gays should pay ALL their medical expenses if they get AIDS/HIV, instead of the tax payers. Fags are becoming very expensive with no value to anyone. I think one could make a lot of money on butt corks, to keep fecal contents leaking out into their g strings after being poked by so many creeps.

Grass? Are you seriously complaining about not being able to touch grass? Is that the best complaint you can come up with? Be grateful they even let you on the campus, because I definitely wouldn't have!

Soul Force was permitted onto BYU campus in 2006 (A very gracious thing for a private organization to do), but Soul Force violated campus policy for public demonstrations. Is it really surprising that they wouldn't allow you on to campus to do it again?
