SNIP
1,000 rally for gay rights at college
Student campaign seeks equal protection for gays

By Jenna Russell, Globe Staff | April 16, 2005

NEWTON -- About 1,000 cheering Boston College students, staff, and faculty gathered at the center of campus yesterday in a show of support for a student-led campaign to expand the school's nondiscrimination statement to include equal protection for those who are gay.


The midday rally followed two weeks of meetings between university officials and student leaders, who said yesterday they are close to an agreement that would address students' concerns while preserving the legal protection that the Roman Catholic university's leaders say it needs.

''This is the most beautiful day I think I'll ever see at BC," said sophomore Chris Young, a gay student who told the crowd at the rally he almost didn't enroll at the college because he feared that he wouldn't be welcome.
