Bob Jones University says gay activist group plans campus visit
GREENVILLE, S.C. | A spokesman for Bob Jones University says a gay activist group plans to visit the fundamentalist Christian school even though it rejected the group's request to talk to students months ago.
Soulforce Inc., a nonprofit organization located in Lynchburg, Va., has organized several "equality rides" to religious and military colleges across the country to protest attitudes about homosexuality at those institutions.
"We were aware they had done this at other schools last year," Bob Jones spokesman Jonathan Pait said.
