Five Soulforce activists were cited for trespassing and escorted off the campus at Brigham Young University Monday after demonstrating against the Mormon Church's antigay policies as part of the Equality Ride.

The Soulforce Q Equality Ride, a group of young LGBT activists headed to Christian campuses nationwide on a mission to open a dialogue about antigay school policies, encountered roadblocks during their first day on the tour.

Another student shot at a Northern Illinois University lecture hall has died, raising the toll to seven, including the gunman, who had graduated from the school and had been considered a good student, officials said Friday. The shooting was the latest in a spate of attacks in U.S. schools and universities, including the shooting of a gender-nonconforming student at an Oxnard, Calif., junior high school who has since been declared brain-dead; a 17-year-old accused of shooting and critically wounding a fellow student Monday during a high school gym class in Memphis, Tenn.; and a woman who shot two fellow students to death before committing suicide at Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge late last week.
