Their ages range from 18 to 28, this is the range that they fell is core to young activist status.. I said its agism at it worst.. Yes young LGBT members who might have one be out for a short have more life experience then those whom have been out for over five or more years..

Core Values:
1. We believe in relentless nonviolent resistance against religious and political oppression of LGBTQ people.
2. We believe in full inclusion and equality for all. unless you want to help with the ride, then you must be under 28,, sorry no old folks allowed...
3. We believe in the fierce urgency of now.
4. We believe that truth, love, and justice will ultimately prevail.
5. We believe in empowering people. Once again on those under 28 need to apply
6. We believe that the LGBTQ community consists of people from every race, class, and walk of life and that the liberation of LGBTQ people cannot be achieved without working in solidarity against all forms of discrimination and oppression. Yet they forget that there are older LGBT in the world.....
7. We believe in resisting injustice.
8. We believe in changing hearts and minds.
9. We believe that our adversaries are as much victims of untruth as we have been.
10. We believe our task is to relentlessly bring our adversaries truth using the methods of love.
11. We believe in absorbing any violence against us in an action as voluntary redemptive suffering without retaliation or complaint.
12. We believe in the importance of a personal commitment to live and become the change we seek.

SNT: Soulforce Arrests at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Six members of a gay student rights group were arrested this morning after they tried to enter a chapel service at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
The students, who are members of a group called Soulforce, did not resist when they were told to either leave campus property or be arrested.
West Palm Beach police made the arrests at the corner of Okeechobee Boulevard and Olive Avenue.
"It was not entirely unexpected," said school spokeswoman Becky Peeling, "because this is the normal operations of this group."
Some members of Soulforce remained near the campus after the arrests, holding hands and praying.
PBA officials had hoped Soulforce would meet with them privately today, instead of making an attempt to solicit students throughout the private Christian school's campus.
Soulforce members refused PBA's request to meet with select students and faculty privately, saying it would defeat their mission of reaching gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students.
Once again we are forcing this matter on school officials who are not open to us. If I was on soul force I would have agree to meet with them on their terms. Some time agreeing does more good then force the issue and being arrested.
The members of soulforce and its board and staff members should realize that being arrested in today's society isn't a badge of honor, In the future these arrests will come back to haunt these kids. By now this group should know how things are going to go.

SNT: WTF Soulforce action like a bunch of damn kids..
Palm Beach Atlantic University officials reconsidered their initial ban of a gay students' rights group from campus, offering members a space for a few hours on Monday to meet with select students and staff from the private Christian school.
But the group, called Soulforce, called the invitation too restrictive and said members planned to walk onto PBAU's downtown West Palm Beach campus at noon, hoping to conduct a more open forum.
''Unfortunately, the format is not conducive to reaching out to the Palm Beach Atlantic community in the spirit of open dialogue,'' a statement released by Soulforce on Wednesday said in reference to PBAU's offer.
``Additionally, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students who need to hear our message of love and affirmation would not be reached in this format.''
For the first time Soul force is being invited to a Christian school and they are bitching over some damn restrictions. What the F* guys, I guess you rather be arrested like so many were last year. What is the damn problem now. I guess you want to be arrested, damn at least they are willing to allow you on the campus, maybe this is due to the fact that Jerry F, is dead. Just accept the damn invitation and be happy.

''After the Soulforce riders had persisted in their desire to visit our school, our leaders prayerfully felt that they should extend the courtesy of a private meeting,'' Peeling said. ``Our hope was that they would accept our offer, so that previously planned campus activities would not be disrupted.''
Soulforce's first stop this year was an Oct. 1 visit to Liberty University in Virginia. In 2006, several Soulforce members were arrested at Liberty, and the evangelical school initially banned Soulforce from campus again this year. Liberty later agreed to allow five representatives on campus to talk to students.

Very interesting statement, which I'm sure the #transinc community will claim to be Transphobic.. in natural. There is nothing bias ...
