Harvard To Create Religious Support Group For LGBTQ Students After Targeting Campus Christian Organization

Leave it to Harvard University to target a campus Christian organization but offer a religious support group to LGBTQ students.

According to The Harvard Crimson, the religious support group will be run by Harvard’s Office of BGLTQ Student Life; it will “respond to the religious needs of students of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.” Sheehan Scarborough, the director of the BGLTQ office, told the Crimson it is “far too early” to answer questions posed about the new group. Scarborough emailed the “Harvard BGLTQ List” this message: “Questions about acceptance, community, and connection are alive for people of many religious traditions right now. There are many ways, and many communities, in which to be queer and religious.”
