Jeffrey Hoffman, executive director of BJUnity said their presence lets LGBT students and alumni know they are not alone, there and at other Independent Fundamental Baptist organizations.

When LGBT BJU students and alumni began gathering together online, Hoffman noted they were not aware of the concurrent rise of other LGBT groups representing other fundamentalist and evangelical colleges such as OneWheaton, Queer Biola Underground, Cedarville Out, and OneGeorgeFox.

BJU issued a statement recognizing the right of alumni to organize and support the LGBT agenda and LGBT events while also asserting their right to continue the school's discriminatory policies against homosexuality.
