Soulforce "Equality Ride" at Patrick Henry College

The Washington Post has a video and article about Soulforce "equality riders" who travel to conservative evangelical colleges who discriminate against the LGBT community. What they do is simply walk onto campus and start an open dialogue with the students. Some colleges accept the invitation to a dialogue, others like Patrick Henry College refuse them to enter the grounds of the campus. Instead, they have the police standing by to arrest anyone from the group who attempts to enter.

I loved reading this article and there's a great video of the riders arriving on Patrick Henry College.
