BYU’s LGBTQ students feel relief, backlash and confusion over Honor Code change

(Rick Egan | Tribune file photo) Sidney Draughon holds a sign as she takes part in a protest in Provo, Utah, in April 2019 against how the Brigham Young University Honor Code Office investigates and disciplines students. BYU this month announced it revised its strict code of conduct to strip a rule that banned any behavior that reflected "homosexual feelings," which LGBTQ students and their allies felt created an unfair double standard not imposed on heterosexual couples. Students, however, are still unclear on the details of how the new Honor Code rules will work.
