This was as close as we were admitted to the campus of Trinity Bible
College.  Behind a fence made of cow panels and steel stakes.  These
prayer shawls were made by members of a Vermillion church that was
fully welcoming and accepting of LGBT people.  The morning was one of
the most moving and spiritual experiences of my life which I will
never forget.  Praying, weeping and singing with outstretched hands
across the fence no students, faculty or administration members would
reach out to us.

A cross above the tower in the background is obscured by the budding
trees of a chilly Spring morning.  An even colder reception would
await 3 members of our group that attempted to deliver the shawls to
the school in a gesture hoping to begin a discussion to end the
schools policy of labeling people like us immoral; born just as we are.
