Soulforce's Equality Riders get a taste of Southern Hospitality!
(Cleveland, TN) – The Equality Ride bus was defaced Thursday evening outside the hotel where Riders were in a planning meeting for their action on Friday at Lee University.

The vandalism and suspect description were reported to Cleveland police, who are investigating the crime.
“The attack on the bus is hate speech, plain and simple, spelled out for everyone to read,” said Jacob Reitan, Equality Ride co-director. “But a more subtle form of hate speech happens when students at the schools we are visiting are told they are sick and sinful just for being the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people God made them to be.”
