"Progressive Voices" (APU Student Matthew)
The second video in the "I'm a Gay Student at a Christian College" series. Since leaving Azusa Pacific University, new progressive voices have begun to be heard all around the campus. In this video I highlight the voice of current student Matthew.Matthew was the creator of a Facebook group titled, "APU Students Against Prop 8" and has spoke actively as a straight ally on campus for the LGBT community at Azusa Pacific. Matthew's work in social justice isn't limited to just LGBT equality, but is dedicated to ending oppression through all forms (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.)
