Students stage gay rights sit-in at basketball game

There’s nothing like a little direct action!

Students at John Carroll University, a Jesuit school in Ohio, recently staged a gay rights sit-in at a basketball game.

From the video: “In light of the recent decision by the John Carroll
University administration to not specifically include the protection of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgendered, and questioning students in
its Anti-Discrimination Statement, we, the students, faculty, and
alumni of John Carroll University choose to voice our support for those
the university leaves without protection.

Watch the sit-in below:
