A group of Tulane and Loyola students hold signs facing the anti-LGBTQIA+ protestors.

Loyola and Tulane students joined forces to counterprotest an anti-LGBTQIA+ group outside Tulane’s campus on Freret street Friday afternoon around 1 p.m.

The group held signs that read “Homo sex is a sin” and “Jesus saves from Hell.”

Many students utilized a nearby bench to make signs to express their dissent.

    Y’all not protesting about the things y’all sin on EVERYDAY that reject the 12 commandments but you want to harass the PEOPLE that God created. God said to hate thy neighbor is equivalent to murder. Check yourselves. Do something more valuable with your time , to hate someone else is literally a projection of who you are.
