Rewire.News: A Pair of Christian Colleges Quietly Cracking Down on LGBTQ Acceptance
On February 7 I again highlighted the harsh realities faced by queer students at evangelical schools, the work of activists seeking to improve conditions, and the array of forces lined up against them in a new exposé for Political Research Associates, “The Struggle for LGBTQ Inclusion at Christian Colleges and Universities.” Here, I highlighted institutions including Clarks Summit University, Bob Jones University, and Cedarville University, in addition to exploring two major case studies where outcomes remain uncertain: Grove City College and Azusa Pacific University, both of which are interdenominational schools with pretensions to respectability. Since publishing this article, I have been in contact with members of the GCC and APU communities whose responses to my work were generally positive, but who also raised important concerns that I will address here, and that underscore the need for more investigative journalism covering evangelical schools.
