Gay Rights Group Targets Christian Colleges
Schools' responses to Soulforce's Equality Ride will
vary widely.

For the next seven weeks, the group Soulforce will
test the hospitality of Christian colleges. Some
schools have decided withdraw the welcome mat for the
national pro-gay activist group, while others are
accommodating the protesters with housing and events.

Sixteen Christian colleges are preparing for the
uninvited guests from what Soulforce is calling
Equality Ride. The seven-week bus tour launching today
will take 35 gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered,
and straight 18- to 28-year-olds to colleges with
behavior codes that Soulforce calls discriminatory.

The religious schools Soulforce is protesting
specifically ban homosexual behavior along with other
non-marital sexual activity.

Soulforce will visit 12 members and three affiliates
of the Council for Christian Colleges and
Universities. CCCU president Bob Andringa told CT he
has not seen protests at colleges like this in his 12
years heading the council. "I knew that none of our
campuses would welcome that kind of outside [message]:
'We're coming, whether you want us to or not.'"
