The holy cross mission St. Edward’s upholds seeks, “to create positive social change and an environment where barriers do not hinder anyone because of any dimension of their identity.”

The pride flag that hung up within the Saint Edwards campus coffee shop  was a symbol of hope, a symbol of belonging. Countless others and myself were drawn to this institution because of its (former) fierce commitment to equality. Now that the flag is gone, and administration continually refuses replace it, action needs to be taken. The St. Edwards community wants to be heard! 

We hope our identity, community, and queer voice are not as disposable as that flag.
