Deploying the colors of the transgender pride flag, a group of LGBTQ+ allies lit up Brigham Young University’s iconic “Y” in pink, blue and white on the mountain above BYU on Saturday night.
These new policies were enforced the week of March 4, the anniversary of the rainbow lighting. The university earlier this month also had workers surround the white concrete letter on the hillside with orange mesh fencing and signs.
Jerilyn Pool, a board member of the Provo Pride Council, was at the trailhead up to the “Y” Saturday night. She said no BYU students or staff were involved in the lighting, to keep them safe from repercussions, and that most of the hikers going up to the “Y” were parents of LGBTQ+ kids or allies.
