Indiana State University is facing a lawsuit from the ACLU of Indiana on behalf of The Pride Center of Terre Haute for allegedly violating First Amendment rights. The lawsuit claims that ISU has denied the group the right to hold a Pride festival on campus in 2025, despite having previously allowed similar events in 2023 and 2024. The Pride Center argues that the university has made arrangements for the festival to occur off-campus, undermining the event's purpose of promoting inclusivity on campus, and claims this behavior indicates a pattern of discouraging LGBTQ+ initiatives.
"ISU's failure to provide Pride Fest an on-campus location is directly related to the message of inclusivity, equality, and support conveyed by all Pride festivals."
"It is clear that the university is censoring Pride Fest because of its support of the LGBTQ+ community."
