The Equality Ride II: Welcome to the jungle

Soulforce's second Equality Ride begins with 50 young adults in two buses stopping at 32 Christian colleges and universities in the pursuit of social justice for LGBT students. In the first two weeks the west bus logs 12 arrests--and that's a good thing.

Why I tried to join the National Guard

On May 30 three Soulforce activists were rejected by the Minnesota National Guard because of the U.S. military's antigay "don't ask, don't tell" policy. This would-be recruit--an organizer of this spring's Equality Ride--is dead serious about signing up, and she'll be back at the recruiting office later this summer with reinforcements.

A symbolic die-in to honor the many gay Mormons who have committed suicide gets two dozen Equality Ride protesters arrested on the campus of Brigham Young University. It also sends an important message.

The codirector of the Equality Ride writes about her decision to be handcuffed and booked at the ride's second stop: "I chose to walk onto campus to tell gay and lesbian students at Regent University that the God of their faith does indeed claim them, even if their church does not."
