More than 20 gay-rights activists were arrested today on trespassing charges as they tried to enter the campus of Liberty University, the Christian college founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, the Associated Press reported. The activists were members of Soulforce, a group that is promoting gay rights on a nationwide tour of conservative Christian universities and military academies. Mr. Falwell, the Virginia college’s chancellor, had earlier said the activists were not welcome because he did not want to expose his students to “a ‘media circus’ that might present immorality in a positive light.”
