That’s exactly what you’ll find out when you catch Equality U, a documentary airing this weekend as the seventh season premiere of Real Momentum, Logo’s documentary series.

The film’s title comes from Equality Ride, the name of the group of brave folks that volunteer to embark on this journey with the shared goal of securing equal rights and protections for LGBT college students on campuses notorious for homophobic policies and practices.

Co-director Jarrett Lucas; 22, from Philadelphia, PA, explains: “In the simplest terms, the Equality Ride is a group of young folks who are willing to challenge themselves and others to strive towards authentic and harmonious community.

“In addition to educating people about gender and sexual diversity, we counteract the abundant and persistent misinformation that is spread about love.”

The engaging and – at times heartbreaking – documentary takes us with these activists as they visit campuses with policies that ban homosexual students from attending or create hostile environments for LGBT students already enrolled.
