Katryna Wilkes, a sophmore majoring in political science, walks with the Pride flag raised above her head after Jed Smock, a member of Campus Ministry USA, said gay people deserve to go to hell. Wilkes said she did not attend the question-and-answer speech to argue with the Smocks, but to protest peacefully. “I’m not straight, so it makes me really angry when they say that kind of stuff,” Wilkes added, “because old me would have thought ‘oh, well, that’s right,’ and the person I am today is like ‘absolutly not.’ We aren’t going to hate ourselves because of what someone else says, and I want that to be a symbol for other people as well.”
