Religion News Service story explores reaction of LGBTQ students, alumni and allies to the recently update BYU Honor Code and its uniform ban against “same-sex romantic behavior.'
Student groups and allies say the ban on “same-sex romantic behavior” goes further that of the overall faith.
, when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ flagship school quietly deleted from the Honor Code a ban on “homosexual behavior.” For the first time, many students began holding hands or kissing in public. Others took the moment to come out as queer., “same-sex romantic behavior” wasn’t compatible with the Honor Code.— now called “same-sex romantic behavior.” Though the ban had never really lost its effect, for some students the official restoration of it still felt like a gut punch.
The Honor Code, a set of guidelines that employees and students are expected to follow, is enforced by the administration on the main campus in Provo, as well as BYU–Idaho, BYU–Hawaii and Ensign College in downtown Salt Lake City. It instructs all community members to live “a chaste and virtuous life, including abstaining from sexual relations outside marriage between a man and a woman.
The announcement declared that “LGBTQ students are a welcomed and valued part of the campus community and share a common identity with every student as sons and daughters of God.” A BYU spokesperson referred media requests about the Honor Code to the church, which declined to comment beyond the news release.
