Students speak their minds during the Pride Week Rally

At noon yesterday, Watson and more than 100 others gathered in front of Old Main to celebrate Pride Week at a rally sponsored by SpeakOut.

Watson compared the activism of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies (LGBTA) community to the revolutionary actions of past biblical characters, civil rights leaders and gay and lesbian activists.

"I saw the inherent revolutionary power of camp," he said.
