Brigham Young University’s Instagram page has become the center of a growing social media protest, with hundreds of commenters flooding the private religious school’s posts to speak out against its anti-LGBTQ policies.
The comments on social media are a way to speak out against the school, putting some public pressure on it, as well as to show LGBTQ students that they have allies, said Rosemary Card, a 2013 BYU alumnus and a prominent Utah podcaster.
It’s not clear who started the social media campaign, but the vibrant replies appear in the comment section of all of BYU’s Instagram posts from this year. The comments date back several weeks — aligning with the start of Pride Month — and more are added every day. Eleni Alicia López and Rosemary Card comment on a Brigham Young University Instagram post from June 13, 2022.
When asked by The Salt Lake Tribune for a comment on the social media campaign, BYU spokesperson Carri Jenkins said, “We’re aware of these posts; thanks for reaching out.” On the other hand, though, the university often closes its Twitter posts to comments, which is likely why students, alumni and folks across the nation turned to Instagram for the recent campaign.
