BYU student reveals rainbow flag under graduation gown in protest of school's LGBTQ policies
Today Show, a division of Fake News NBC ^ | 04/26/2022 | Amy Eley

Jillian Orr hopes other students at Brigham Young University who are hiding their sexual orientation feel less alone.

...The psychology major, who is bisexual, spread out her graduation gown to reveal a rainbow flag underneath.

BYU, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, restricts LGBTQ students from dating or showing signs of affection while enrolled at the university. Students who do so can be reported to school officials and are at risk of being disenrolled.

For 28-year-old Orr, who was raised in the church and served an 18-month church mission in Oregon, she said she didn’t realize until she was halfway through her education at the university that she was bisexual.

Why would what somebody wore under their robe at their graduation be a news item on NBC?

Why do homosexuals insist on transitioning their identity to their perversion and demand that everyone take notice and applaud it, “celebrate” it?

What would happen if heterosexuals, which are the vast majority, would adopt an insignia and wear it openly? They would be accused of hatred and bigotry.

BYU needs to suspend and deny her degree.

Obnoxious, divisive and hate filled BS! Taking the easiest equation on the planet, boy plus girl, and trying to divide it into a thousand shades of mental disorder. Screw all these idiots to oblivion.

That’s why the DSM-III should be used, and not the newer versions.

It wasn't that long ago that faggots were considered to have a mental disorder by the APA

I remember that. As a youngster I held the psychiatric profession in high esteem. Then, in college, I took numerous psychology classes to fulfill my electives requirements.

There, I realized how fluid and bogus that field is. I lost all respect for psychiatrists and psychologists and "therapists."

Other than quack shrinks being able to prescribe drugs, a looney tune has a better chance of getting better on her/his own than submitting to the above mentioned witch doctors.

Slow news day?

It's a college thing.

When she realizes that she's not a lesbian, it won't make the news.

Also, if she weren't pretty it wouldn't have made the Today Show.

“The psychology major”

Sounds like she needs to do some serious self-analysis.

Every female Psych major I met was “fun”, but batshit crazy.
They major in it to find out why they’re so crazy, but crazy can’t self diagnose.

I guess it was braggadocio, frankly I had surfing to do and the ‘62 Biscayne was packed. So I didn’t hang around to notice.
