Brigham Young University is now prohibiting any protests on Y Mountain — nearly a year after a group of students drew national attention for lighting up its iconic “Y” in rainbow colors to call out the school’s ban on LGBTQ relationships.

Sidney Draughon chants along with hundreds of students on the campus of Brigham Young University, to oppose how the school’s Honor Code Office investigates and disciplines students, Friday, April 12, 2019.A month before that, the university had quietly removed the section from its Honor Code banning “all forms of physical intimacy that give expression to homosexual feelings.

She noted that, under BYU’s updated policy, students have no way of knowing what qualifies as opposing a church doctrine, or merely analyzing it. A group of people, including many BYU students, shine rainbow lights on the "Y" on the mountain above BYU in Provo on Thursday, March 4, 2021. He worries about who will now decide what is — or isn’t — considered a demonstration, and if that will turn into “a game of semantics” against causes the university doesn’t support.Under the changes, BYU now defines a demonstration as “an event that occurs on university property that is not sponsored by the university in which two or more people gather to raise awareness about, or express a viewpoint on, an issue or cause.

They no longer need to have a faculty sponsor, but the application must be submitted to the dean of students. Then, the dean, along with the managing director of BYU police, the vice president of belonging and the academic vice president, will decide whether or not to approve the request.
