http://www.365gay.com/news/gay-rights-activists-arrested-at-florida-college/(West Palm Beach, Florida) Six members of the nondenominational Soulforce Equality Ride were arrested Monday when they attempted to enter the chapel at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
More than a dozen LGBT young adults and their allies are visiting 15 Christian schools throughout the South to engage students in a discussion on gay inclusion.
The six “riders” ignored warnings they would be arrested if they did not leave the campus. They offered no resistance as police led them away.
This is the third year for the Equality Ride. Unlike previous years, “riders” were not obstructed as they spoke with students at Liberty University and Columbia International.
Initially, Palm Beach Atlantic officials completely refused to allow Equality Riders on campus. The school then suggested a limited meeting.
