PoughkeepsieJournal.com: 21 gay-rights activists cited at West Point
Twenty-one gay-rights activists were arrested Wednesday after staging a protest against the Pentagon’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on the grounds of the U.S. Military Academy.
The West Point stop was the last on a 20-stop tour of conservative Christian and military colleges that Soulforce Equality Ride organizers say discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people through their admissions policies.
“We are tired of being discriminated against, we are tired of being pushed in the closet, we’re tired of being told there’s not a place for us at the table,” organizer Jake Reitan told protesters.
