<p>Is this backward or what? Morehouse College, the HBCU that won’t even allow their students to express themselves freely by wearing whatever they want to class, had its first Gay Pride Week. Sources say the event wasn’t even acknowledged on the school’s calendar of events.</p><p>While LGBT people across the country are gaining more visibility, many African-American LGBT voices go unheard and their issues get ignored. Morehouse, one of our county’s most premiere historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), is dedicated to amplifying those voices in hopes for creating change and reducing homophobia on campus. Inviting B. Scott is one step in the right direction in Morehouse’s quest for affirming all of their LGBT students.</p><p>B. Scott: “I was honored when Morehouse College asked me to speak at their first Pride Week,“ said B. Scott. “It is encouraging that they have decided to acknowledge the LGBT community in a positive way on their campus, which is the first step in creating an environment of acceptance and equality.”</p><p>So, Morehouse allows the students to have this event but they still don’t allow the students to cross-dress. Then the school gets B. Scott, who pretty much looks and dress like a woman, to speak at this event… Its just all too confusing for us.</p><p>Cancel your reply</p>
