After the appeal for Hunter v. DOE failed, we realized that while the law would allow for discrimination on non-affirming college campuses, queer students on those campuses will need our support even more.

Is it getting better or worse?On today’s episode co-hosts Erin Green (REAP Director) and Crystal Cheatham (REAP Associate Director) sit down with Plaintiff and former Liberty University student, Lucas Wilson, to discuss what might come next for us, for students, for Christians, and our country, after such a harsh ruling.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
