1748: SUU Students Protest Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland - a podcast by Dr. John Dehlin
from 2023-03-21T22:00
Today we are inviting a panel of Southern Utah University students to discuss their objections to the invitation to have Mormon apostle Jeffrey R. Holland speak at an upcoming graduation ceremony, especially as a man who has used his status, privilege, wealth and power to platform anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, including violent metaphors, which have directly harmed so many in that community.
