WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Police say six people were arrested at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida during a protest to promote the acceptance of gays and lesbians.
The six arrested Monday were part of Soulforce Q, a Minneapolis-based group on a bus tour billed as an "Equality Ride" with stops at 15 private faith-based colleges, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Tuesday.

Palm Beach Atlantic, with an estimated 3,200 students, accepts gay students but prohibits "homosexual behavior" which, Soulforce members said, means gay students can be expelled for holding hands or kissing.
The six, arrested as they tried to attend a chapel service on campus, were charged with trespassing.
