We're suing Indiana State University for blocking a Pride Festival on the campus Quad — a space designated for free expression. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Soapbox rant - sorry- today IU cancelled a health conference for LGBTQ and Ball State cancelled staff training on LGBTQ also. Hopefully the ACLU & Lambda Legal will get those lawsuits going. I feel like it's the beginning.
