“Equality U†(2008)
In 2006, 33 young activists embarked on the first Soulforce Equality Ride, a two-month, cross-country tour to confront antigay discrimination policies at 19 conservative religious and military colleges. The Riders had to come to terms with their new role as young activists, deal with internal conflict within the group, and face the daily onslaught from administrators that don’t want them on their campuses. At each stop, the Riders exercise “relentless non-violent resistance†and often face arrest for trespassing. Can this small group of activists sow the seeds of dialogue? How will the road change them? For the Riders that identify as both Queer and Christian, how will the journey challenge or transform their faith? And what happens to the outed gay students they encounter and then leave behind?
Guest Facilitator: David Mihalyfy
David Mihalyfy is a ph.d. student at the University of Chicago Divinity School. He is a historian interested in how fundamentalists read the Bible, and how studying the Bible historically challenges that.
