One of my very dear friends is doing something called Equality Ride. They go to colleges around the US that have policies discriminating against gay/lesbian students and protest. Well at their stop at Baylor University, 6 kids got arrested for trespassing while chalking the sidewalk.
More pictures here.
They're being held overnight in jail, too. Luckily, my friend wasn't one of the ones arrested but I think everyone's pretty freaked out since they've never had to leave their riders in jail before. If you find it in your heart to help these kids out, you can donate money here. It'll help pay bail and any court costs for the kids that were arrested and housing, food, and gas for the other riders.
I'm really very sad about this. You'd think we'd have learned by now.

Are their seriously places where you need to protest like that? My uni has a special club to support GLBT... well I think it does, the posters seem to have disappeared, but there are definitely policies in place against discrimination.
