Gay Equality Riders Arrested At Oral Roberts U
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/03/032006ride.htm

About seven members of the Soulforce Equality Ride were arrested when they ignored a warning from Oral Roberts University police not to enter the campus.

Several dozen young gay activists are on a 51 day cross-country trip organized by the nondenominational group Soulforce to draw attention to colleges and military academies that discriminate against LGBT students.

Their bus arrived in Tulsa Monday. The riders stood on the street, across from the main entrance to the university, and held hands as they said a prayer.

The university created by televangelist Oral Roberts will not enroll openly gay students and students already enrolled that are found to be gay can be expelled.

3. "found to be gay" is that standard any more defined than "found to
be a witch" in Salem? Or do they actually have to bust into a dorm room and find them doing something?

If it's simply on someone else's word, what mischief a pissed off ex gf could create. Or even someone who took a strong disliking to someone like, say, the president of the College Republican group on campus who might have to go enlist to support his war of choice should he get booted out of college.
