Protesters including Brigham Young University students yelled homophobic slurs and taunted LGBTQ students and their supporters during an off campus gathering in Utah. About 100 protesters showed up at the “Back to School Pride Night” event held over the weekend at a public park in Provo. A dozen people dressed up as angels and who were supporting the LGBTQ students stood in a line to block the protesters. The confrontation happened just over a week after a BYU fan was banned after yelling racial slurs at a Duke University volleyball player who is black during a match in Utah.
