David Gushee of RNS reports on "eruptions" on evangelical higher education campuses 3 December 2019.
In the story he refers to Reid Arthur who came out as gay at George Fox University and Joanna Maxon who is in a same-sex marriage and involved in a law suit at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena California.
A professor, Karen Swallow Prior at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has been the target of Southern Baptists for comments she has made, which have been interpreted as supportive of same-sex attracted Christians.
Here are links to the stories mentioned above

As we see in recent news, the rights of same-sex minorities are in focus for people who do not identify as heterosexual and for those Christians who wish to challenge the "gay agenda" or disallow sexual minorities from sacred rites like a Christian marriage or ministry.
