LGBT Student Group Officially Recognized by Belmont University

Belmont University has officially recognized the school?s first LGBT student organization, Bridge Builders. The decision was announced on Friday by Bridge Builders President Robbie Maris and Belmont Provost Thomas Burns. Bridge Builders has attempted twice before to gain official recognition, but was denied. Out lesbian soccer coach Lisa Howe?s controversial departure from the school in December lent attention to the student group?s struggle. A month later, Belmont trustees added sexual orientation to the school?s nondiscrimination policy.Related Media Coverage:The Tennessean - February 26, 2011"Belmont University Recognizes First Gay Student Organization"http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110226/NEWS04/102260349/-1/JCOUSINS@TENNESSEAN.COM/Belmont-University-recognizes-first-gay-student-organization
