Union University calls police on equality riders after group rejects school guidelines

Three people have been arrested while trying to speak to Union University students about equality for gay and transgender students.

The Soulforce Q Equality Riders, which visits colleges to encourage discussions on the oppression of gays, included several Union University students.

Officials at the Christian-centered school instructed the group to stay at a building across the street from the main campus and in a limited area at its south entrance.

When demonstrators tried to move further into campus Monday, police turned them away.

Zak Rittenhouse, Manny Lampon and Jarrett Lucas continued into campus and were arrested and charged with criminal trespassing.

The group says it will return to campus Tuesday.
