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:

Wow, what a fantastic video. It was inspiring and heartbreaking to see these kids protesting for human rights as the basketball teams just practiced around them.
