For those of you who haven’t seen it yet (that includes me), the groundbreaking documentary on the 2006 Soulforce Equality will debut on Logo this weekend.
The televised premiere of “EqualityU” will tonight, Saturday, Jan. 17. If you don’t have Logo (umm, that would include me) or if you miss it, it’ll repeat at sometime or you can watch it online.
Back in march 2006, I participated as a non-Rider in the group’s first stop. I was arrested with the group as we attempted to speak with our Christian brothers and sisters on the campus of the late Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. A year later, I found myself stuck on a bus with almost 30 other young folks traveling up and down the entire Eastern half of the continental U.S. The Ride took its 2008 journey last fall.
I followed the 2006 Equality Ride here at my blog and then later posted updates from the more than two-month journey in 2007. Catch it all here. Oh, and there was video, too.

I just watched EqualityU on Logo and although I am not gay, I was so proud of all those involved, the enthusiasm and the dedication. I too am a Christian and do not believe that Christ does not love gays any less than any human being alive.
My college roommate was a lesbian and just about the sweetest person I have ever met.
And about BYU, they need to do some soul searching.

I was so proud of all the gals that stood up for themselves.
The guys were great too.
